Clib Get Normalized Mantissa Method

The Clib Get Normalized Mantissa method converts a number into a normalized mantissa in a value in the range of 0.5 through 1.0, and then calculates an integer exponent of 2 so that the number is equivalent to the following value:

mantissa multiplied by 2 ^ exponent

It returns one of the following values:

  • A normalized mantissa in the range of 0.5 through 1.0

  • 0

A mantissa is the decimal part of a natural logarithm.
