f32

comparision

convert this to a string.

basic operations: 'prefix -' (negation)

conversion

casting bit representation to u32

is the sign bit set?

the biased exponent

the normalized exponent

the normalized mantissa

the fraction of the floating point number

true when the absolute value
is smaller than 0.001
or greater than 9_999_999

create hash code from this number

special handling for floats:
although -0.0 and 0.0 are different in bit representation,
they are considered equal by both type.equality and IEEE
standard, hence they should have the same hash.
all NaNs are considered equal by type.equality (but not
the IEEE standard), so the hash of any NaN is the hash of
the "canonical" NaN.

number of bits used for mantissa,
including leading '1' that is not actually stored

number of bits used for exponent

mask for the the bits that encode the mantissa

mask for the the bits that encode the exponent
(the mask is not shifted to the correct position)

the exponent bias (the zero offset of the exponent)

identity element for 'infix +'

identity element for 'infix *'
