hi all,

 

does anyone know how is a float variable is stored in a memory of 4 bytes??

 

 

i wanted to knw how to read the value from that memory location?

-----------------------------------------

float a = 15.35;

char * ptr;

 

ptr = (char*) &a;

 

for ( i = 0;i< sizeof(float) ; i++) {

        printf("Address = %x \n", ptr + i );

        printf("value at address is  = %x \n", *( (char *) (ptr + i ))  );
