Line 28:
That cryptic constant is actually a composite of three bitfields, and twiddling it requires some understanding of what those fields are. It would be clearer, but a few more operations, to do that line as a pair of bitfield extract/inserts. But we're saving divides in the subsequent iterations, so the extra 1-cycle operations are a wash.

:This basically says, 'you may use a union to reinterpret the bits of one type into another but we're not going to promise that the new interpretation will be valid'
:I will say that the C code in this article is rather clunky and may benefit from a bitfield to separate the different sections of the float representation so it is easier to read and understand, but I will have to flatly disagree with you that <code>memcpy() </code>is more appropriate than a union in this code snippet.

Not sure if this is a known or established property, proven, bounded, or if its already in the article in some alternative capacity, or if its even appropriate for this article. I do know the taylor series approximation with two terms connects these expressions.

: There is nothing special about 2 and 4: <math>\sqrt{x+2c} \approx \frac{x+c}{\sqrt{x}}</math> provided that c is small compared to x. This is, in fact, just the first two terms of the series given in the article under the section heading "Taylor series". [[User:JBW|JBW]] ([[User talk:JBW|talk]]) 01:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
: I don't think they are useful. In the first, you have replaced a square root and an addition with a square root, an addition, and a division to get an approximate answer. [[User:Bubba73|Bubba73]] <sup>[[User talk:Bubba73|You talkin' to me?]]</sup> 08:02, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
