function floatToByteTable(Number) : table

Converts a DWORD (4 bytes), interpreted as a single precision floating point, to a byte table.

Function Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Number	number	The number to convert to a byte table

Examples

 local bt = floatToByteTable(100.0)
 writeBytes('00123ABC', bt)

Code:

 local bt = floatToByteTable(10)
 for i, v in ipairs(bt) do
   print(i - 1, string.format('%02X', v))
 end

Output:

 0 00 
 1 00 
 2 20
