fun Float.toBits(): Int
(Common source) (JVM source) (JS source) (Native source)

For Common, JVM, Native

Returns a bit representation of the specified floating-point value as Int according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "single format" bit layout.

For JS

Returns a bit representation of the specified floating-point value as Int according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "single format" bit layout.

Note that in Kotlin/JS Float range is wider than "single format" bit layout can represent, so some Float values may overflow, underflow or loose their accuracy after conversion to bits and back.
