I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this: I am writing a script that will receive two integers as input that represent a single float. The first is the integer part, the second is hat mantissa. How do I recomine them into a single float? all I'm coming up with so far is:
my $float = $int_part . '.' . $matissa; #or my $float = sprintf "%u.%u", $int_part, $mantissa; It seems, though, like there should be a more elegant way to handle this than turning two numbers into a string to turn around and use the result as number again. What am I missing?
