Arguments

x

A numeric vetor.

Details

Get the bit representation of a double number Using rev() ensures that the bit order is correct, and the binary representation aligns with the usual convention of having the MSB first and the LSB last. This is because numToBits() returns the bits in the reverse order, and without rev(), we end up with the LSB first and the MSB last.

Examples

0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3
#> [1] FALSE
as.bitstring(0.1 + 0.2)
#> [1] "00000101010101010101000100000101000001010000010100000101000001010000010100000101000001010000010100000101000001010000010100010000"
as.bitstring(0.3)
#> [1] "00000101010101010101000100000101000001010000010100000101000001010000010100000101000001010000010100000101000001010000010100000101"
