get the integer representation value of a float type variable in C

Question

I have the number 20 (0x14) stored in a 32-bit register. The register is allocated to a C float variable representing the value 2.8e-44. Now I want to get the hexadecimal re

Answer 1

C is considered a weakley typed langauge, which may allow to assign values that belong to different types than the variable they are being assigned with, therefore you can simply do this:

 int integer = 1;  
 float floater =1.1111;

 floater = integer;  

This is known as Implicit type conversion, also known as coercion, is an automatic type conversion by the compiler. Some programming languages allow compilers to provide coercion; others require it.

but consider the following:

• what happens when the float is less than zero?
