Usage

You can use it by adding this to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
twiddle = "1.1"

and adding this to the top of your crate root (main.rs or lib.rs):

extern crate twiddle;

use twiddle::Twiddle;

Example

extern crate twiddle;

use twiddle::Twiddle;

struct UnpackedF32 {
    negative: bool,
    exponent: i16,
    fraction: u32,
}

impl From<f32> for UnpackedF32 {
    fn from(f: f32) -> UnpackedF32 {
        let b = f.to_bits();
        UnpackedF32 {
            negative: b.bit(31),
            exponent: (b.bits(30..=23) as i16) - 127,
            fraction: b.bits(22..=0)
        }
    }
}

fn main() {
    for f in -5..=5 {
        let u = UnpackedF32::from(f as f32);
        println!("{:+} = {}1.{:023b} * 2^{}",
            f,
            match u.negative { false => "+", true => "-" },
            u.fraction,
            u.exponent
        );
    }
}
