Method Detail

unpackGetExponentUnbiased

public static long unpackGetExponentUnbiased(double d)

Extract and unbias the exponent of the given packed double value.

The exponent is encoded biased as a number in the range [0, 2047], with 0 indicating that the number is subnormal and [1, 2046] denoting the actual exponent plus BIAS. Infinite and NaN values always have a biased exponent of 2047.

This function will therefore return:

• 0 - BIAS = -1023 iff the input is a subnormal number.
• An integer in the range [1 - BIAS, 2046 - BIAS] = [-1022, 1023] iff the input is a normal number.
• 2047 - BIAS = 1024 iff the input is Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY, Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, or NaN.

Parameters:

d - A floating point value

Returns:

An unbiased exponent

unpackGetSign

public static long unpackGetSign(double d)

Retrieve the sign bit of the given floating point value, as an integer.

Parameters:

d - A floating point value

Returns:

An unpacked sign bit

unpackGetSignificand

public static long unpackGetSignificand(double d)

Return the significand of the given floating point value as an integer.

Parameters:

d - A floating point value

Returns:

An unpacked significand
