Hi, hope this isn't too specific and off topic. I was looking at the Buffer.writeFloat example in the documentation: http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html . In the example, somehow doing writeFloatBE(0xcafebabe, 0) creates a buffer that's <4f 4a fe bb>. I've looked at this page explaining the binary layout of floats: http://kipirvine.com/asm/workbook/floating_tut.htm, but it still doesn't make sense how this translation is working. For the buffer, I'm getting 31 for the exponent (158 - 127) and 4914875 for the mantissa, which is different from 0xcafebabe = 3405691582. Thanks for any help and clarification.
