Inputs

n	a 32-bit integer representing an IEEE 754 single-precision float

Outputs

x

a float

Word description
Creates a float object from a 32-bit binary representation. This word is usually used to reconstruct floats read from streams. NaN signs, payloads and signaling bits are preserved when widening to double precision.
