[Numpy-discussion] IEEE floating point arithmetics

[lorenzo bolla]

Hi all.
I have to work with floating point arithmetics and I found a module called
"double module" (http://symptotic.com/mj/double/public/double-module.html)
that does what I'd like. Basically, I would like to find the nearest smaller
and bigger floating point numbers, given a "real" real number (the function
doubleToLongBits<http://symptotic.com/mj/double/public/double-module.html#doubleToLongBits>
can
be used to do just that.).
Is there something similar in numpy?
In other words: is there a way, in numpy, to convert a floating point number
to its binary representation and back?
Thank you and regards,
L.
