# F8: 8-bit floats

<div class="warning">Not for production use!</div>

F8 is a toy software floating-point math library.
It provides an 8-bit floating point type `F8`, with 5 mantissa bits, 3 exponent bits, and no sign bit.
The format used resembles [IEEE 754] binary formats but stripped down to the bare necessities: the only special value supported is zero.
