merge request: Single and Double
If you want to have Single and Double in one page, then why not have a "Floating point" (or similar name) page? --Bart (talk) 17:30, 28 March 2018 (CEST)
- I did not create Single and Double, Djzepi did. I saw it and noticed very similar content, so I de-duplicated it. I'm pro merge, yes, definitely, since AFAIK only the number of bits differs. I don't know, whether even merging with Real would go to far, though. Kai Burghardt (talk) 01:42, 31 March 2018 (CEST)

Example of converting from raw data to double
@Paskal: why AQWord: QWord absolute Result;
Result is a Double, when casting that as a QWord you access undefined memory.
