# Floating Point Encoding

This implements a means of encoding floating point values
into signed integer cells. The technique is described in
the paper titled "Encoding floating point numbers to shorter
integers" by Kiyoshi Yoneda and Charles Childers.

This will extend the `f:` vocabulary and adds a new `e:`
vocabulary.

## Code & Commentary

Define some constants. The range is slightly reduced from
the standard  integer range as the smallest value is used
for NaN.

~~~
n:MAX n:dec          'e:MAX const
n:MAX n:dec n:negate 'e:MIN const
n:MIN                'e:NAN const
n:MAX                'e:INF const
n:MAX n:negate       'e:-INF const
~~~

~~~
:e:n?    (u-f) e:MIN n:inc e:MAX n:dec n:between? ;
:e:max?  (u-f) e:MAX   eq? ;
:e:min?  (u-f) e:MIN   eq? ;
:e:zero? (u-f) n:zero?     ;
:e:nan?  (u-f) e:NAN   eq? ;
:e:inf?  (u-f) e:INF   eq? ;
:e:-inf? (u-f) e:-INF  eq? ;
:e:clip  (u-u) e:MIN e:MAX n:limit ;
~~~

Since 32-bit cells take about 9 decimal digits, if you set

    `[ .1e5 ] &f:E1 set-hook`

you will have 5 decimal digits left for the integer part of
the encoded number, which corresponds to 8 decimal digits
decoded.

Encode/decode words to secure dynamic range. This portion
is the essence of the method.
