Question: Get hexadecimal representation for a float as a string

Question:Get hexadecimal representation for a float as a string

Hello

I wonder how I could use Maple commands to do the following:

An irrational number, ir, (a huge symbolic expression as a result of iterating a discrete map) is converted to single precision (Real16) and then to hexadecimal as a string. Example: using matlab it will be something like single(ir)=0.25(float representation) =3e800000 (hexadecimal representation).

I am not sure if single precision is available in Maple 2017 but I guess Real32, Real64 and Real128 are.

Once the hexadecimal representation is acquired I need to convert it back to Real16, Real 32 and etc.

Your help is much appreciated.

Many thanks

Ed
