# toFloat32
[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]
> Convert a [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754] to the nearest [single-precision floating-point number][ieee754].
## Installation
```bash
npm install @stdlib/number-float64-base-to-float32
```
## Usage
```javascript
var float64ToFloat32 = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-to-float32' );
```
#### float64ToFloat32( x )
Converts a [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754] to the nearest [single-precision floating-point number][ieee754].
```javascript
var y = float64ToFloat32( 1.337 );
// returns 1.3370000123977661
```
## Notes
- This function may be used as a polyfill for the ES2015 built-in [`Math.fround`][math-fround].
## Examples
```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var float64ToFloat32 = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-to-float32' );
var f64;
var f32;
var i;
// Convert random double-precision floating-point numbers to the nearest single-precision floating-point number...
for ( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ ) {
f64 = randu() * 100.0;
f32 = float64ToFloat32( f64 );
console.log( 'float64: %d => float32: %d', f64, f32 );
}
```
