Question
The code I have given is the code that was required for these sections Which I have finished
I just need help with the highlighted bullet points sections so what I really need help with is understanding why I had to do the code in this way
#include <stdio.h>
struct Single
{
int num;
};
void printSingle(int f)
{
int binaryNum[33];
int i = 0;
while(f>0)
{
binaryNum[i] = f % 2;
f = f/2;
i++;
}
for (int j=i-1; j>= 0; j--)
{
printf("%d",binaryNum[j]);
}
}
int main()
{
struct Single single;
single.num = 33;
printf("Number: %d\n",single.num);
printSingle(single.num);
return 0;
}

Transcribed Image Text:P.1 Floating-point struct
Define a struct Single that describes the bit layout for a single-precision floating-point
number.
You will need to use bit fields in the struct. Notice that you need to consider little-endian
vs. big-endian.
Why does endian matter here and not for part 2?
P.2 Printing floating-point parts
Define a method called void printSingle(float f) that will print the parts of the
floating-point number as distinct values.
To place the float into the struct, use a pointer cast or a union. For example, using a
pointer cast to interpret the bits of a floating-point number as an integer
To print a floating-point number in printf, you typically use %f.
• Describe how pointer casting works to get the value into a different format.
Describe how you could break apart a floating-point number into parts using
bitwise operators? Would that care about endian?
