zserio.float module

The module provides help methods for manipulation with float numbers.

The following float formats defined by IEEE 754 standard are supported:

• half precision float point format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating-point_format)

• single precision float point format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating-point_format)

• double precision float point format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format)

zserio.float.float_to_uint16(float64: float) → int

Converts python native float to 16-bit float stored as integer value.

Parameters:

float64 – Python native float to convert.

Returns:

Converted half precision float value stored as an integer value.

zserio.float.float_to_uint32(float64: float) → int

Converts python native float to 32-bit float stored as integer value.

Parameters:

float64 – Python native float to convert.

Returns:

Converted single precision float value stored as an integer value.

zserio.float.float_to_uint64(float64: float) → int

Converts python native float to 64-bit float stored as integer value.

Parameters:

float64 – Python native float to convert.

Returns:

Converted double precision float value stored as an integer value.

zserio.float.uint16_to_float(float16_value: int) → float

Converts 16-bit float stored as an integer value to python native float.

Parameters:

float16_value – Half precision float value stored as an integer value to convert.

Returns:

Converted python native float.

zserio.float.uint32_to_float(float32_value: int) → float

Converts 32-bit float stored as an integer value to python native float.

Parameters:

float32_value – Single precision float value stored as an integer value to convert.

Returns:

Converted python native float.

zserio.float.uint64_to_float(float64_value: int) → float

Converts 64-bit float stored as an integer value to python native float.

Parameters:

float64_value – Double precision float value stored as an integer value to convert.

Returns:

Converted python native float.
