Std.Decimal.toFloat64

fn

This is a callable function.

What it does

The nearest binary floating value.

Lossy in both the ways it can be: a coefficient may carry more significant

digits than Float64 holds, and a terminating base-ten fraction is usually

not one in base two. Use it to hand a number to something that needs a

float, never to compute with.
