Provides the
[32-bit single-precision floating-point](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating-point_format)
data type `Float32` and operations.
`Float32` is a `newtype` wrapper around `Number`, where
entering into the type can only be done with
[`Math.fround()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/fround).
## Installation
Install `float32` with [Spago](https://github.com/purescript/spago):
```sh
spago install float32
```
