Excuse me for my trivial question, but I'd like to know how to convert byte array to float? What I could think of are cast(float)(byte[]) and to!float(byte[]) but they do not work for me. Thanks!

You want to include [] in the cast so:



byte[] b = [1, 2, 3, 4]
byte[] f = cast(float[])b;

writeln(b);
writeln(f);

You can even cast on a slice:

byte[] b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
byte[] f = cast(float[])b[4..8];

Ah I miss read, if you want as a float, not a float array you can do:

byte[] b = [1, 2, 3, 4];
float f = *cast(float*)b.ptr;

not sure if there is a better way

thanks for quick reply, i'll plug above lines into my codes.
