### Read/write IEEE754 floating point numbers from/to a Buffer or array-like object.

## install

```

npm install ieee754

```

## methods

`var ieee754 = require('ieee754')`

The `ieee754` object has the following functions:

```

ieee754.read = function (buffer, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)

ieee754.write = function (buffer, value, offset, isLE, mLen, nBytes)

```

The arguments mean the following:

- buffer = the buffer

- offset = offset into the buffer

- value = value to set (only for `write`)

- isLe = is little endian?

- mLen = mantissa length

- nBytes = number of bytes

## what is ieee754?

The IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754) is a technical standard for floating-point computation. [Read more](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating_point).
