将UINT64编码为浮动

Question

我在C#中有将UInt64转换为float的代码，输入的值例如是'4537294320117481472‘。完成工作的代码位于第一个块中，第二个块显示相关函数，答案位于底部。

byte[] rawParameterData = new byte[8];

Console.Write("Enter Value:  ");
string rawDataString = Console.ReadLine();
UInt64 rawParameterInteger = UInt64.Parse(rawDataString);

rawParameterData = ConvertFromUInt64(rawParameterInteger);

float convertedParameterData = ConvertToFloat(rawParameterData, 0);

rawParameterData现在等于字节数组62,247,181,37,0,0,0,0，0，0

convertedParameterData现在等于0.4838039

public static byte[] ConvertFromUInt64(UInt64 data)
{
    var databuf = BitConverter.GetBytes(data);
    return SwapBytes(databuf, 8);   // DIS is big-endian; need to convert to little-endian: least significant byte is at lower byte location.
}

static float ConvertToFloat(byte[] data, int offset)
{
    var databuf = CopyData(data, offset, 4);
    return BitConverter.ToSingle(databuf, 0);
}


static byte[] SwapBytes(byte[] srcbuf, int datalength)
{
    var destbuf = new byte[srcbuf.Length];
    for (var i = 0; i < datalength; i++)
        destbuf[datalength - 1 - i] = srcbuf[i];
    return destbuf;
}

代码似乎依赖于BitConverter.ToSingle(databuf, 0)函数，该函数是C#的一部分。

这能用Python完成吗？谢谢。

Answer 1

在python中，这是非常简单的

import struct

a = 4537294320117481472

b = struct.pack('Q', a)
f = struct.unpack('ff', b)

print(f)  # (0.0, 0.4838038980960846)

Answer 2

import struct
import math 

# We only care about the first 4 of eight of the digits so we 
# need to shift by the character size * number of characters
# then we will just have databuf in our significantBits variable
# So we are converting from: 3E F7 B5 25 0 0 0 0 to 3E F7 B5 25
characterWidth = 8
significantBits = 4537294320117481472 >> (characterWidth * 4)

# We can use this python function convert from bits to a float
# Taken from https://stackoverflow.com/a/14431225/825093 
def bitsToFloat(b):
    s = struct.pack('>l', b)
    return struct.unpack('>f', s)[0]

float = bitsToFloat(significantBits)
print(float) # 0.483803898096
