 > Checkout the [interactive version of this diagram](https://trekhleb.dev/blog/2021/binary-floating-point/) to play around with setting bits on and off, and seeing how it would influence the final result
 
+Be aware that this is by no means a complete and sufficient overview of the IEEE 754 standard. It is rather a simplified and basic overview. Several corner cases were omitted in the examples above for simplicity of presentation (i.e. `-0`, `-∞`, `+∞` and `NaN` (not a number) values)

 ## Code examples
 
 - See the [bitsToFloat.js](bitsToFloat.js) for the example of how to convert array of bits to the floating point number (the example is a bit artificial but still it gives the overview of how the conversion is going on)
