This was a very useful contribution, helped me convert a 4-byte decimal IEEE 754 encoded float32 value to its decimal value - thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing the code for the conversion.
I've made a gist file which uses your solution for the conversion but a little modified.
Link to the gist if you're interested https://gist.github.com/Jozo132/2c0fae763f5dc6635a6714bb741d152f
