A small Python library which gives you the IEEE-754 representation of a floating point number.

Overview

ieee754

ieee754 is small Python library which gives you the IEEE-754 representation of a floating point number. You can specify a precision given in the list below or you can even use your own custom precision.

  • Half Precision (16 bit: 1 bit for sign + 5 bits for exponent + 10 bits for mantissa)
  • Single Precision (32 bit: 1 bit for sign + 8 bits for exponent + 23 bits for mantissa)
  • Double Precision (64 bit: 1 bit for sign + 11 bits for exponent + 52 bits for mantissa)
  • Quadrupole Precision (128 bit: 1 bit for sign + 15 bits for exponent + 112 bits for mantissa)
  • Octuple Precision (256 bit: 1 bit for sign + 19 bits for exponent + 236 bits for mantissa)
  • Prerequisites

    ieee754 uses numpy, so you should install numpy first.

    $ pip install numpy

    Installing

    To download ieee754, either fork this github repo or simply use Pypi via pip.

    $ pip install ieee754

    Using

    After installation, you can import ieee754 and use it in your projects.

    Default Options

    Default precision is Double Precision and you can get the output by just calling the instance as a string.

    from ieee754 import IEEE754
    
    x = 13.375
    a = IEEE754(x)
    # you should call the instance as a string
    print(str(a))
    print(f"{a}")
    # you can get the hexadecimal presentation like this
    print(a.str2hex())

    Select a Precision

    You can use Half (p=0), Single (p=1), Double (p=2), Quadrupole (p=3) or Octuple precision (p=4).

    from ieee754 import IEEE754
    
    for p in range(5):
        a = IEEE754(x, p)
        print("x = %f | b = %s | h = %s" % (13.375, a, a.str2hex()))

    Using a Custom Precision

    You can force total length, exponent, and mantissa size, and also the bias.

    a = IEEE754(x, force_length=19, force_exponent=6, force_mantissa=12, force_bias=31)
    print(f"{a}")

    Precision issues

    If you choose Quadruple precision, the mantissa portion of the number gets approximated after a certain number of bits.

    As an example, the results for Quadruple precision from this converter (https://babbage.cs.qc.cuny.edu/IEEE-754/) are different from the one using the IEEE754 class.

    Digging a bit in the methods, the approximation is related to the fact that building the mantissa multiplying by 2 makes the error due to the initial approximation of the floating point number larger and larger, until it affects the result of the mantissa computation.

    I read that python and numpy do not handle particularly well high precision real numbers.

    I had to employ gmpy2 for my needs, maybe it's worth having a look at it for future modifications to the class.
