A 4 byte float has the value: 0x7F800000. Its value as a floating point number is:
a. -39.482
b. +0.0
c. 11.0
d. +Infinity
Hey there, I was hoping to solve another problem but I need help. I was wondering how I would convert the value to the desired answer?
Another question.. what if the 4 byte float was a 8 byte float. How would it make a difference?
Thank you.
How do you think it should be done? This is a C programming question (class exercise I presume), no? Show us how you think it could be solved, and then we will try to help. Just don't ask us to do your work (school or otherwise) for you.
Hint: try casting the hex value to a float, and print the resulting value.
