ieeeBinaryToNumber

ieeeBinaryToNumber(value, format): number

Defined in: packages/math-numbers/src/ieee754/binary/ieee-binary-to-number.ts:16

The nearest JS number to value.

Exact for binary16/32/64; a binary64 approximation for anything wider, which loses everything past ~15 significant decimal digits.

Goes through binary64’s own bit pattern rather than Number(sig) × 2^e: the latter underflows to zero for any value whose exponent falls below binary64’s subnormal floor, where the correct answer is a subnormal rather than zero.
