writeFloatLe

Writes four bytes of a bit representation of float, in the little-endian order, to this sink. Bit representation of the float corresponds to the IEEE 754 floating-point "single format" bit layout.

To obtain a bit representation, the Float.toBits function is used.

Should be used with care when working with special values (like NaN) as bit patterns obtained for Float.NaN may vary depending on a platform.

Note that in Kotlin/JS a value obtained by writing an original Float value to a Sink using Sink.writeFloatLe and then reading it back using Source.readFloatLe may not be equal to the original value. Please refer to Float.toBits documentation for details.
