It is rather a simplified and basic overview. Several corner cases were omitted in the examples above for simplicity of presentation (i.e. `-0`, `-∞`, `+∞` and `NaN` (not a number) values) + ## Code examples - See the [bitsToFloat.js](bitsToFloat.js) for the example of how to convert array of bits to the floating point number (the example is a bit artificial but still it gives the overview of how the conversion is going on)
