Hello,

Im trying to translate C code ( or C++? ) to Flowcode but I don't understand one part :

float invSqrt(float number) {
  volatile long i;
  volatile float x, y;
  volatile const float f = 1.5F;

  x = number * 0.5F;
  y = number;
  i = * ( long * ) &y;
  i = 0x5f375a86 - ( i >> 1 );
  y = * ( float * ) &i;
  y = y * ( f - ( x * y * y ) );
  return y;
}

What do this line mean :

Code: Select all

i = * ( long * ) &y;

??
How to translate this into flowcode ?

Thank you for your help
