Primitive Type f641.0.0[−]
Expand description
A 64-bit floating point type (specifically, the “binary64” type defined in IEEE 754-2008).
This type is very similar to f32, but has increased
precision by using twice as many bits. Please see the documentation for
f32 or Wikipedia on double precision
values for more information.
Implementations

This is the difference between 1.0 and the next larger representable number.

assert!(lower_than_min.is_subnormal());Returns true if the number is neither zero, infinite,
subnormal, or NaN.
let min = f64::MIN_POSITIVE; // 2.2250738585072014e-308f64

- Be representable in the return type
Int, after truncating off its fractional part
Raw transmutation to u64.
This is currently identical to transmute::<f64, u64>(self) on all platforms.
See from_bits for some discussion of the
portability of this operation (there are almost no issues).
Note that this function is distinct from as casting, which attempts to
preserve the numeric value, and not the bitwise value.
Examples
assert!((1f64).to_bits() != 1f64 as u64); // to_bits() is not casting!
assert_eq!((12.5f64).to_bits(), 0x4029000000000000);
Raw transmutation from u64.
This is currently identical to transmute::<u64, f64>(v) on all platforms.
It turns out this is incredibly portable, for two reasons:
- Floats and Ints have the same endianness on all supported platforms.
- IEEE-754 very precisely specifies the bit layout of floats.
However there is one caveat: prior to the 2008 version of IEEE-754, how to interpret the NaN signaling bit wasn’t actually specified. Most platforms (notably x86 and ARM) picked the interpretation that was ultimately standardized in 2008, but some didn’t (notably MIPS). As a result, all signaling NaNs on MIPS are quiet NaNs on x86, and vice-versa.
Rather than trying to preserve signaling-ness cross-platform, this implementation favors preserving the exact bits. This means that any payloads encoded in NaNs will be preserved even if the result of this method is sent over the network from an x86 machine to a MIPS one.
If the results of this method are only manipulated by the same architecture that produced them, then there is no portability concern.
If the input isn’t NaN, then there is no portability concern.
If you don’t care about signaling-ness (very likely), then there is no portability concern.
Note that this function is distinct from as casting, which attempts to
preserve the numeric value, and not the bitwise value.
Examples
let v = f64::from_bits(0x4029000000000000);
assert_eq!(v, 12.5);Return the memory representation of this floating point number as a byte array in native byte order.
As the target platform’s native endianness is used, portable code
should use to_be_bytes or to_le_bytes, as appropriate, instead.
Examples
let bytes = 12.5f64.to_ne_bytes();
assert_eq!(
bytes,
if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
[0x40, 0x29, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]
} else {
[0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x29, 0x40]
}
);Create a floating point value from its representation as a byte array in native endian.
As the target platform’s native endianness is used, portable code
likely wants to use from_be_bytes or from_le_bytes, as
appropriate instead.
Examples
let value = f64::from_ne_bytes(if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
[0x40, 0x29, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]
} else {
[0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x29, 0x40]
});
assert_eq!(value, 12.5);Returns an ordering between self and other values. Unlike the standard partial comparison between floating point numbers, this comparison always produces an ordering in accordance to the totalOrder predicate as defined in IEEE 754 (2008 revision) floating point standard. The values are ordered in following order:
- Negative quiet NaN
- Negative signaling NaN
- Negative infinity
- Negative numbers
- Negative subnormal numbers
- Negative zero
- Positive zero
- Positive subnormal numbers
- Positive numbers
- Positive infinity
- Positive signaling NaN
- Positive quiet NaN
Note that this function does not always agree with the PartialOrd
and PartialEq implementations of f64. In particular, they regard
negative and positive zero as equal, while total_cmp doesn’t.
Example
#![feature(total_cmp)]
struct GoodBoy {
name: String,
weight: f64,
}
let mut bois = vec![
GoodBoy { name: "Pucci".to_owned(), weight: 0.1 },
GoodBoy { name: "Woofer".to_owned(), weight: 99.0 },
GoodBoy { name: "Yapper".to_owned(), weight: 10.0 },
GoodBoy { name: "Chonk".to_owned(), weight: f64::INFINITY },
GoodBoy { name: "Abs. Unit".to_owned(), weight: f64::NAN },
GoodBoy { name: "Floaty".to_owned(), weight: -5.0 },
];
bois.sort_by(|a, b| a.weight.total_cmp(&b.weight));Restrict a value to a certain interval unless it is NaN.
Returns max if self is greater than max, and min if self is
less than min. Otherwise this returns self.
Note that this function returns NaN if the initial value was NaN as well.
Panics
Panics if min > max, min is NaN, or max is NaN.

Converts a string in base 10 to a float. Accepts an optional decimal exponent.
This function accepts strings such as
- ‘3.14’
- ‘-3.14’
- ‘2.5E10’, or equivalently, ‘2.5e10’
- ‘2.5E-10’
- ‘5.’
- ‘.5’, or, equivalently, ‘0.5’
- ‘inf’, ‘-inf’, ‘NaN’
Leading and trailing whitespace represent an error.
Grammar
All strings that adhere to the following EBNF grammar
will result in an Ok being returned:
Float ::= Sign? ( 'inf' | 'NaN' | Number )
Number ::= ( Digit+ |
Digit+ '.' Digit* |
Digit* '.' Digit+ ) Exp?
Exp ::= [eE] Sign? Digit+
Sign ::= [+-]
Digit ::= [0-9]Arguments
- src - A string
Return value
Err(ParseFloatError) if the string did not represent a valid
number. Otherwise, Ok(n) where n is the floating-point
number represented by src.

The remainder from the division of two floats.
The remainder has the same sign as the dividend and is computed as:
x - (x / y).trunc() * y.
Examples
let x: f32 = 50.50;
let y: f32 = 8.125;
let remainder = x - (x / y).trunc() * y;
