[Contains abstract features]

f32 -- 32 bit floating point values


f32 are binary32-numbers as defined in the IEEE 754-2019 standard, see
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/servlet/opac?punumber=8766227

Value Constructors

§
:
Any
 is
 
[Inherited from  numeric]
absolute value using `|a|` built from a `prefix |` and `postfix |` as an operator
alias of `a.abs`

Due to the low precedence of `|`, this works also on expressions like `|a-b|`, even
with spaces `| a-b |`, `|a - b|`, `| a-b|` or `|a-b |`.

Nesting, however, does not work, e.g, `| - |a| |`, this requires parentheses `|(- |a|)|`.

NYI: CLEANUP: Due to #3081, we need `postfix |` as the first operation, should be
`prefix |` first

float.this 
[Inherited from  float]
ceiling: the smallest integer greater or equal to this
§

Type 
[Inherited from  Any]
Get the dynamic type of this instance. For value instances `x`, this is
equal to `type_of x`, but for `x` with a `ref` type `x.dynamic_type` gives
the actual runtime type, while `type_of x` results in the static
compile-time type.

There is no dynamic type of a type instance since this would result in an
endless hierarchy of types. So for Type values, dynamic_type is redefined
to just return Type.type.

This provides an equivalence relation in the mathematical

be used for IEEE semantics.

of floating-point numbers, with the definition of NaN = NaN.

create hash code from this number

special handling for floats:
although -0.0 and 0.0 are different in bit representation,
they are considered equal by both type.equality and IEEE
standard, hence they should have the same hash.
all NaNs are considered equal by type.equality (but not
the IEEE standard), so the hash of any NaN is the hash of
the "canonical" NaN.

§(T

[Inherited from  Type]
Is this type assignable to a type parameter with constraint `T`?

The result of this is a compile-time constant that can be used to specialize
code for a particular type.

is_of_integer_type(n T : numeric) => T : integer
say (is_of_integer_type 1234) # true
say (is_of_integer_type 3.14) # false

total order

This provides a total order in the mathematical sense and

for any x (including x = NaN).

difference to `dynamic_type`.
