float.fromhex()
float.fromhex() is a Python method in the Number Methods category. Creates a float from a hexadecimal string (class method). The syntax is float.fromhex(s). Returns: Float. A typical example: float.fromhex("0x1.91eb851eb851fp+1") # 3.14. A close sibling is int.bit_length(), which returns the number of bits required to represent the integer in binary. A close sibling is int.bit_count(), which returns the number of ones in the binary representation of the integer. A close sibling is int.to_bytes(), which returns an array of bytes representing the integer. A close sibling is int.from_bytes(), which returns the integer represented by the given array of bytes.
