	 *     by the difference in the exponent bias (see above).
	 *   - Then we multiply the single-precision result of exponent adjustment by 2**(-112) to reverse the effect of
	 *     exponent adjustment by 0xE0 less the necessary exponent adjustment by 0x70 due to difference in exponent bias.
	 *     The floating-point multiplication hardware would ensure than Inf and NaN would retain their value on at least
	 *     partially IEEE754-compliant implementations.
	 *
	 * Note that the above operations do not handle denormal inputs (where biased exponent == 0). However, they also do not

	 * Now, remember that denormalized half-precision numbers are represented as:
	 *    FP16 = mantissa * 2**(-24).
	 * The trick is to construct a normalized single-precision number with the same mantissa and thehalf-precision input

	 * number causes a change of the constructud single-precision number by 2**(-24), i.e. the same ammount.
	 *
	 * The last step is to adjust the bias of the constructed single-precision number. When the input half-precision number
