math.Float32bits() Function in Golang With Examples

Go language provides inbuilt support for basic constants and mathematical functions to perform operations on the numbers with the help of the math package. This package provides Float32bits() function which returns the IEEE 754 binary representation of a with the sign bit of a and the result in the same bit position. So, you need to add a math package in your program with the help of the import keyword to access Float32bits() function

Syntax:

func Float32bits(a float32) uint32

Example 1:

// Golang program to illustrate how to
// find IEEE 754 binary representation
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "math"
)

// Main function
func main() {

    // Finding IEEE 754 binary
    // representation of the
    // given numbers
    // Using Float32bits() function
    res_1 := math.Float32bits(-2)
    res_2 := math.Float32bits(1)
    res_3 := math.Float32bits(0)
    res_4 := math.Float32bits(2.3)

    // Displaying the result
    fmt.Println("Result 1: ", res_1)
    fmt.Println("Result 2: ", res_2)
    fmt.Println("Result 3: ", res_3)
    fmt.Println("Result 4: ", res_4)

}

Output:

Result 1:  3221225472
Result 2:  1065353216
Result 3:  0
Result 4:  1075000115

Example 2:

// Golang program to illustrate how to
// find IEEE 754 binary representation
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "math"
)

// Main function
func main() {

    // Finding IEEE 754 binary
    // representation of the
    // given numbers
    // Using Float32bits() function
    nvalue_1 := math.Float32bits(3)
    nvalue_2 := math.Float32bits(5)

    // Sum of the given values
    res := nvalue_1 + nvalue_2
    fmt.Printf("%d + %d = %d",
      nvalue_1, nvalue_2, res)

}

Output:

1077936128 + 1084227584 = 2162163712
