Converts a table of bytes to a double precision (64-bit) floating point number.
Function Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Table | Table | A table containing the bytes to convert (least significant byte first). |
Returns
Number — The resulting double precision floating point value.
Explanation
The function takes a table of bytes (e.g., {0x1F, 0x85, 0xEB, 0x51, 0xB8, 0x1E, 0x09, 0x40}) and interprets them as a 64-bit double in little-endian order.
For example, byteTableToDouble({0x1F, 0x85, 0xEB, 0x51, 0xB8, 0x1E, 0x09, 0x40}) returns 3.14.
Examples
1 local doubleValue = byteTableToDouble({0x1F, 0x85, 0xEB, 0x51, 0xB8, 0x1E, 0x09, 0x40})
2 print(doubleValue) -- Output: 3.14
