| ### Read/write IEEE754 floating point numbers from/to a Buffer or array-like object. |
| |
| ## install |
| |
| ``` |
| npm install ieee754 |
| ``` |
| |
| [Get supported ieee754 with the Tidelift Subscription](https://tidelift.com/subscription/pkg/npm-ieee754?utm_source=npm-ieee754&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=readme) |
| |
| ## methods |
| |
| `var ieee754 = require('ieee754')` |
| |
| The `ieee754` object has the following functions: |
| |
| ``` |
| ieee754.read = function (buffer, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes) |
| ieee754.write = function (buffer, value, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes) |
| ``` |
| |
| The arguments mean the following: |
| |
| - buffer = the buffer |
| - offset = offset into the buffer |
| - value = value to set (only for `write`) |
| - isLe = is little endian? |
| - mLen = mantissa length |
| - nBytes = number of bytes |
| |
| ## what is ieee754? |
| |
| The IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754) is a technical standard for floating-point computation. [Read more](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating_point). |
