Detailed Description

A half-precision IEEE 754 binary floating point value (binary16).

This type arises from IEEE 754-2008 and represents a half-precision floating point number. This can fit within exactly 16 bits and may be used in situations where the range does not exceed ± ~2^15. in total, there are 11 bits of precision in the significand.
