fixnum->flonum(3scm)

📦 version 0-unstable-2024-02, in nixpkgs unstable

hiii bestie 💕 welcome to the fixnum->flonum(3scm) page from the Scheme Programmer's Manual — we're about to make a fixnum turn into a flonum, and it's honestly giving conversion main character energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fixnum->flonum — conversion from fixnum to flonum 🦋

📚 LIBRARY 📚

okay so you get these from the library, no cap:

(import (rnrs))                     ;R6RS
(import (rnrs arithmetic flonums))  ;R6RS

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

(fixnum->flonum fx)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns a flonum that is numerically closest to fx. Periodt 💅

lowkey important: the result of this procedure may not be numerically equal to fx, because the fixnum precision may be greater than the flonum precision 😭

🎁 RETURN VALUES 🎁

Returns a single value; a flonum. That's it, that's the whole gift 🫶

🌟 EXAMPLES 🌟

(fixnum->flonum 1)
    =>  1.0

🔄 COMPATIBILITY 🔄

This procedure is unique to R6RS. An alternative is to use inexact(3scm) 👀
