Reset cast buffer so it can be set with bitwise ORs #428

When converting floating point arrays to binary, we use bitwise OR operations to set the relevant bits in the output buffer to 1. We do nothing if the bit is zero, so we assume that the bit is zero to start with. The memset statement makes sure this assumption holds.

Amazing, thank you @Ngalstyan4, merged 😉
