floatBitsToInt - OpenGL ES 3.1 Reference Pages

## Name

floatBitsToInt — produce the encoding of a floating point value as an integer

## Declaration

`genIType floatBitsToInt(` | genType x`)`;

`genUType floatBitsToUint(` | genType x`)`;

## Parameters

`x`

  Specifies the value whose floating point encoding to return.

## Description

`floatBitsToInt` and `floatBitsToUint` return the encoding of their floating-point parameters as highp `int` or `uint`, respectively. The floating-point bit-level representation is preserved. For mediump and lowp, the value is first converted to highp floating point and the encoding of that value is returned.
