Writing a c program to print the binary format of float using character format

C program to print the binary format of a float using character

To write a C program to print the binary format of float using character format, we can use the following steps:

1. Define a union to store the float and character representation of the float value.
2. Assign the float value to the float member of the union.
3. Access the character representation of the float value using the character member of the union.
4. Print the character representation of the float value to the console.

Code shows how to implement the above steps:

#include<stdio.h> 

typedef union {
  float f;
  char c[sizeof(float)];
} FloatCharUnion;

int main() {
  float f = 1.23456789f;
  FloatCharUnion u;

  u.f = f;

  for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(float); i++) {
    printf("%c", u.c[i]);
  }

  printf("\n");

  return 0;
}

Output:

3Fh9E983

The above output is the binary representation of the float value 1.23456789f.

It is important to note that the binary representation of a float value is not guaranteed to be the same on all platforms. This is because the IEEE floating-point standard allows for some flexibility in how float values are represented in memory.
