SerializeHexReal (FUN)

FUNCTION SerializeHexReal : STRING(32)

Converts a floating point number to the format

F16#{Mantissa}H{Exponent}

where both mantissa and exponent are hexadecimal numerals, such that liM * 2^iE = {Mantissa} * 16^{Exponent}.

Note

• If liM is zero, {Exponent} is set to 0, regardless of the value of iE.

• The hexadecimal exponent is computed as floor(iE/4). The hexadecimal mantissa then becomes liM * 2^(iE mod 4).
