PGAGetRealFromBinary(1) Interpets a binary string as encoding a real value

INPUT PARAMETERS

ctx
- context variable
p
- string index
pop
- symbolic constant of the population the string is in
start
- starting bit position in the binary representation
end
- ending bit position in the binary representation
lower
- lower bound of the interval the real number is defined on
upper
- lower bound of the interval the real number is defined on

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

none

SYNOPSIS


#include "pgapack.h"
double PGAGetRealFromBinary(ctx, p, pop, start, end, lower, upper)

EXAMPLE

Example:
Decode a real value from the string p in population PGA_NEWPOP.  The
value to decode lies on the interval [-10,20] and is represented
using the 20 bits in bit positions 10--29.
double x;
:
x = PGAGetRealFromBinary(ctx, p, PGA_NEWPOP, 10, 29, -10.0, 20.0);
