Article contents:== Outdated egg! This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for [[/eggref/5/fpio|the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg]], if it exists. If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the [[https://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-projects/egg-index-5.html|egg index]]. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN. [[tags: egg]] == fpio Conversion of floating point numbers between binary and decimal representation. [[toc:]] === Introduction The {{fpio}} library contains a routines for converting floating-point numbers between IEEE binary representation and decimal string representation. It is based on the [[http://www.netlib.org/fp/|gdtoa]] library by David Gay. There are two routines included with the library, {{string->fp}} and {{fp->string}}. === Library procedures <procedure>fp->string:: NUMBER [* NDIGITS] -> STRING</procedure> Converts the given floating-point number to decimal string representation. If optional argument {{NDIGITS}} is positive, the conversion is done to the specified number of decimal places. If {{NDIGITS}} is zero (the default) or negative, the conversion is done to the shortest decimal string that rounds to the given floating point value. <procedure>string->fp:: STRING [* ROUNDING] -> NUMBER</procedure> Converts the given decimal string number to binary IEEE floating point representation. Optional argument {{ROUNDING}} is a symbol that can be one of: ; {{toward-zero}} : indicates rounding-towards-zero mode (the default) ; {{nearest}} : indicates rounding-towards-nearest mode ; {{toward+Inf}} : indicates rounding-towards +Inf mode ; {{toward-Inf}} : indicates rounding-towards -Inf mode === Authors [[/users/ivan-raikov|Ivan Raikov]] === Version ; 1.5 : Use -fPIC flag to compile [thanks to Panos Stergiotis] ; 1.4 : Added import of foreign library [thanks to felix] ; 1.3 : Ported to Chicken 4 ; 1.2 : Fixes to the file manifest ; 1.0 : Initial version === License Copyright 2008-2011 Ivan Raikov.
