This structure implements the datatype for storing half-precision floating-point numbers. The structure implements assignment, arithmetic and comparison operators, and type conversions. 16 bits are being used in total: 1 sign bit, 5 bits for the exponent, and the significand is being stored in 10 bits. The total precision is 11 bits. There are 15361 representable numbers within the interval [0.0, 1.0], endpoints included. On average we have log10(2**11) ~ 3.311 decimal digits.
