math.Float32bits()

The Float32bits() function is an inbuilt function of the math package which is used to get the IEEE 754 binary representation of f, with the sign bit of f and the result in the same bit position. Where f is the given parameter.

It accepts a parameter (f) and returns the IEEE 754 binary representation of f.

Syntax:

func Float32bits(f float32) uint32

Parameter(s):

• f : The value of float32 type whose IEEE 754 binary representation is to be found.

Return Value:

The return type of Float32bits() function is a uint32, it returns the IEEE 754 binary representation of the given parameter.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.Float32bits() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(math.Float32bits(0))
	fmt.Println(math.Float32bits(5))
	fmt.Println(math.Float32bits(-5))
	fmt.Println(math.Float32bits(10.5))
	fmt.Println(math.Float32bits(-10.5))
	fmt.Println(math.Float32bits(0.01))
}

Output:

0
1084227584
3231711232
1093140480
3240624128
1008981770

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.Float32bits() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	var x float32
	var Float32bitsX uint32

	x = 0
	Float32bitsX = math.Float32bits(x)
	fmt.Println("Float32bits(", x, ") = ", Float32bitsX)

	x = 0.5
	Float32bitsX = math.Float32bits(x)
	fmt.Println("Float32bits(", x, ") = ", Float32bitsX)

	x = 6
	Float32bitsX = math.Float32bits(x)
	fmt.Println("Float32bits(", x, ") = ", Float32bitsX)

	x = -6
	Float32bitsX = math.Float32bits(x)
	fmt.Println("Float32bits(", x, ") = ", Float32bitsX)

	x = -0.15
	Float32bitsX = math.Float32bits(x)
	fmt.Println("Float32bits(", x, ") = ", Float32bitsX)
}

Output:

Float32bits( 0 ) =  0
Float32bits( 0.5 ) =  1056964608
Float32bits( 6 ) =  1086324736
Float32bits( -6 ) =  3233808384
Float32bits( -0.15 ) =  3189348762
