Well, have heard of even 8 bit floats...
32 bit floats can be read. First read the 4 bytes
I assume you mean four read_bytes calls...
and make an int32 of
them.
How do I create an int32 with four bytes?
Then simply call Int32.float_of_bits.
I get this last one, but I can't imagine the previous step.
Thanks
