The following methods are exported:
-
intBitsToFloat- Returns a float for the given int bits.
-
floatToIntBits- Returns int bits for the given float.
-
intToFloatColor- Returns a single float representing the
given ABGR integer. Some precision is lost.
- Returns a single float representing the
-
colorToFloat- Returns a single float representing the
given R, G, B, and A bytes (0 - 255). Some precision is lost.
- Returns a single float representing the
-
isPowerOfTwo- Returns true if the number is a power-of-two size
-

example
var util = require('number-util');
//packs the RGBA color red into a single float
var color = util.colorToFloat(255, 0, 0, 255);
use

how
Typed arrays are used to perform the casting.
