Explanation of Solution
Function definition for “float_le()” function:
The implementation for “float_le()” and “f2u()”function is given below:
//Header file
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
//Function definition for returns the result as an unsigned
unsigned f2u(float xvl)
{
/* Returns the unsigned value by using "*(unsigned*)&x" */
return *(unsigned*)&xvl;
}
//Function definition for float_le function
int float_le(float x, float y)
{
//Compute the unsigned value for "x"
unsigned ux = f2u(x);
//Compute the unsigned value for "y"
unsigned uy = f2u(y);
//Get the sign bits for "x"
unsigned sx = ux >> 31;
//Get the sign bits for "y"
unsigned sy = uy >> 31;
/* Returns the result for float_le() function */
return (ux << 1 == 0 && uy << 1 == 0) ||
(sx && !sy) ||
(!sx && !sy && ux <= uy) ||
(sx && sy && ux >= uy);
}
//Main function
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
/* Call function "float_le" with checking value using "assert" function */
assert(float_le(-0, +0));
assert(float_le(+0, -0));
assert(float_le(0, 6));
assert(float_le(-8, 8));
return 0;
}
The given code is used to check whether its first argument in given function is less than or equal to its second argument...
