Function smartnoise_runtime::utilities::binary_to_f64

pub fn binary_to_f64(binary_string: &str) -> Result<f64>

Converts String of length 64 to f64, yielding the floating-point number represented by the String.

The first bit of the string is the sign, the next 11 are the exponent, and the last 52 are the mantissa. See here for an explanation of IEEE-754 64-bit floating-point numbers.

Arguments

• binary_string: String showing IEEE-754 binary representation of a number

Return

• num: f64 version of the String
