| \\ The difference between **FN_ConvertToHalf** and **FN_ConvertToHalfRounded** is that the former truncates towards zero, but is slightly faster, whereas the latter generates the half-precision number which is nearest to the supplied value, but is slightly slower. Use **FN_ConvertToHalf** if you know that the value can be converted exactly into half precision (for example it was returned from **FN_ConvertFromHalf**) or if you are not too concerned about accuracy. Use **FN_ConvertToHalfRounded** otherwise.\\ \\ | \\ The difference between **FN_ConvertToHalf** and **FN_ConvertToHalfRounded** is that the former truncates towards zero, but is slightly faster, whereas the latter generates the half-precision number which is nearest to the supplied value, but is slightly slower.
