# NSConvertHostFloatToSwapped(_:)

Performs a type conversion.

```
func NSConvertHostFloatToSwapped(_ x: Float) -> NSSwappedFloat
```

## Discussion

Converts the float value in `x` to a value whose bytes can be swapped. This function does not actually swap the bytes of `x`. You should not need to call this function directly.

Swaps the bytes of a number.

[`func NSSwapHostFloatToLittle(Float) -> NSSwappedFloat`](/documentation/Foundation/NSSwapHostFloatToLittle(_:))
