I am trying to convert a real number (a) which is between zero and one to an array of bits.
I have tried this:
let a = 0.625
let b = []
while (a != 0) {
if ((a * 2) >= 1) {
b.push(1)
a = a - 1
}
else {
b.push(0)
}
}
console.log(b)
But I get an error that says "something went wrong while displaying this webpage".
Can you help me? Thanks.
Because you just test if a * 2 is larger 1, but never actually multiply it by two you enter a infinite loop. You could do:
let a = 0.625
let b = []
while (a != 0) {
a *= 2
if (a >= 1) {
b.push(1)
a = a - 1
}
else {
b.push(0)
}
}
console.log(b)
