Numeric conversion
Learn Numeric conversion in WebAssembly through the exact construct, a dedicated example, a boundary case, and a mastery check.
Numeric conversion is an atomic WebAssembly lesson inside Numeric Instructions. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.
Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on Numeric conversion rather than on generic WebAssembly syntax.
Topic-specific example
(module (func (export "to_f64") (param i32) (result f64) local.get 0 f64.convert_i32_s))
For Numeric conversion, check operand/result types and trap conditions. WebAssembly validation is strict even when the surrounding host code is permissive.
