normalizationFactor
Computes a normalization factor based on the maximum exponent of the input values.
Return
A normalization factor that is either 1.0 or a power of 2, determined by the input values.
Parameters
a
The first input value.
b
The second input value.
c
The third input value.
d
The fourth input value.
Computes a normalization factor based on the input values a, b, and c. The factor is calculated as a power of 2, inversely proportional to the largest exponent of the input values, if it falls outside the range of -8, 8. Otherwise, the factor defaults to 1.0.
Return
the computed normalization factor
Parameters
a
the first input value
b
the second input value
c
the third input value
