Opaque type that represents floating point number with 32 exponent bits and 52 significand bits.

Record type that represents inner content of WideFloat.

Creates a WideFloat value from specified exponent and significand. If the absolute value of given significand is greater 2 or less than 1, n is added to the exponent and 2^(-n) is multiplied to the significand where n denote floor (logBase 2 (abs significand))

create { base2exponent = 0, significand = 10 }
    == create { base2exponent = 3, significand = 1.25 }
    --> True

Creates a WideFloat value from specified float

fromFloat (1024.0 * 1024.0 * 1024.0 * 1024.0)
    == create { base2exponent = 40, significand = 1 }
    --> True

Returns True if the parameter is recognized as zero in floating point precision.

proportionOf w1 w2 == 2.0 / 3.0 --> True

Returns a record representing the inner content of WideFloat. Inverse function of create (when significand is specified properly).

content : { base2exponent : Int, significand : Float}
content =
    { base2exponent = 1000, significand = 1.234 }




getInternal (create content)
   == content --> True

Returns a String value representing the base 10 expression of a WideFloat. You can specify how many digits is shown after decimal point as the first parameter. The result may be a little less precise than other calcurations implemented in this module.

create
    { base2exponent = 2
    , significand = 1
    }
    |> toString 3 --> "4.000e0"

If you want some other formats, you can make your original toString function using getInternal.
