Floats

An \( n \) bit float is stored in memory with \( n \) bits or \( \frac{n}{8} \) bytes. Floats conform to the IEEE 754 floating poitn standard.

A float literal aliases to either f32 or f64 as required.

Note: Use std::numcast::<T, U>(t: T) -> U to convert between numeric types (both float and int)

• f16

Note: This type is only supported as a storage type and will be interpreted as a f32 during math operations. This conversion might make things slower and as such the usage of this type is discouraged unless memory is of concern.

• f32
• f64
• f128

Note: Due to lack of hardware support this type might be very slow to use. Consider employing different technologies and reflect whether such a precicion is really required.
