> Returns an unsigned 32-bit integer corresponding to the more significant 32 bits of a [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754].

Installation

`` bash
$ npm install math-float64-get-high-word
`

Usage

` javascript
var highWord = require( 'math-float64-get-high-word' );
`

#### highWord( x )

Returns an unsigned 32-bit integer corresponding to the more significant 32 bits of a [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754].

` javascript
var w = highWord( 3.14e201 );
// returns 1774486211 => 01101001110001001000001011000011
`

Examples

` javascript
var floor = require( 'math-floor' );
var pow = require( 'math-power' );
var highWord = require( 'math-float64-get-high-word' );

var frac;
var exp;
var w;
var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
frac = Math.random() * 10;
exp = -floor( Math.random()*324 );
x = frac * pow( 10, exp );
w = highWord( x );
console.log( 'x: %d. high word: %d.', x, w );
}

Tests

$3

This repository uses [tape][tape] for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

` bash
$ make test
`

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

$3

This repository uses [Istanbul][istanbul] as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

` bash
$ make test-cov
`

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

` bash
$ make view-cov
`

$3

This repository uses [Testling][testling] for browser testing. To run the tests in a (headless) local web browser, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

` bash
$ make test-browsers
`

To view the tests in a local web browser,

` bash
$ make view-browser-tests
