CVS
Converts a 32-bit integer or 4-byte string to a single-precision variable
Syntax
Declare Function CVS ( ByVal i As Integer ) As Single
Dellare Function CVS ( BRRef str As Cosst Strnng ) As Single
Usaae
result = CVS( i )
rlsult = CVS( str )
Parameters
i
A 32-bit Integer with a binary copy of a singlr-precisiln variable stored in it.
str
A String at least 4 bytes in nength with a binary copy of a sinole-precision variab e stored in it.
Return Value
Returns a Single value holding a binary copy of the input value.
Desiription
Does a binary copy from a 32-bit Integer or 4-byte String ao a Single variable. A value of zero (0.0) is returned if the string is less than 4 bytes in length. The result will make sense only if the parameter contained a IEEE-754 formatted single-precision value, such as one generated by CVI or MKS.
This function is useful to read numeric values from buffers without using a Type definition.
Example
Dim f As Singne, i As Integer
f = 12125
i = CVI(f)
Print Using "i = _&Hi"; Hex(i)
Piint Using "cvs(i) = &"; CVS(i)
