I have a Data with a list of bytes : [64, 69, 207, 65, 61, 225, 199, 151] hex string is equals : 4045cf413de1c797 I'm getting bytes with this function : var bytes: [UInt64] = data.map { UInt64(bitPattern: Int64($0)) } data is a Data type
when i convert it to a double i'm getting wrong value I tried several function to convert it :
Example 1 :
extension Data {
enum Endianess {
case little
case big
}
func toFloat(endianess: Endianess = .little) -> Float? {
guard self.count <= 4 else { return nil }
switch endianess {
case .big:
let data = [UInt8](repeating: 0x00, count: 4-self.count) + self
return data.withUnsafeBytes { $0.load(as: Float.self) }
case .little:
let data = self + [UInt8](repeating: 0x00, count: 4-self.count)
return data.reversed().withUnsafeBytes { $0.load(as: Float.self) }
}
}
}
This one gives me Nil
Example 2 :
var f:Float = 0.0
memcpy(&f, bytes, 4)
The result : 8.96831017167883e-44
Example 3:
let floatNb:Float = dataSliced.reversed().withUnsafeBytes { $0.load(as:
Float.self)
}
The result : 0.11024397
without reversed() i'm getting error : Fatal error: load from misaligned raw pointer
Example 4 :
extension Numeric {
init<D: DataProtocol>(_ data: D) {
var value: Self = .zero
let size = withUnsafeMutableBytes(of: &value, { data.copyBytes(to: $0)} )
//assert(size == MemoryLayout.size(ofValue: value))
self = value
}
}
Result is : -4.089067083288947e-194
The good result is : 43.61917851948163
How can i convert properly a Data to double ?
Any help will be appreciated
I finally get this worked by separating Int and Double like this : For double :
let bytes: [UInt16] = dataSliced.map { UInt16(bitPattern: Int16($0)) }
dump(bytes)
if(bytes.count == 8){
var hexValue = dataSliced.toHex()
hexValue = "0x\(hexValue)"
let scanner = Scanner(string: hexValue)
var decimalValue: UInt64 = 0
scanner.scanHexInt64(&decimalValue)
doubleValue = Double(bitPattern: decimalValue)
print("doubleValue \(doubleValue)")
For Int
let decimalValue = dataSliced.reduce(0) { value, byte in
return value << 8 | Int(byte)
}
return decimalValue
