Q:

convert a float to binary c

// C program to convert a real value 
// to IEEE 754 floating point representaion 
  
#include <stdio.h> 
  
void printBinary(int n, int i) 
{ 
  
    // Prints the binary representation 
    // of a number n up to i-bits. 
    int k;

        if ((n >> k) & 1) 
            printf("1"); 
        else
            printf("0"); 
    } 
} 
  
typedef union {

        // Order is important.

        // use the same memory (32 bits). 
        // The ordering is taken 
        // from the LSB to the MSB. 
        unsigned int mantissa : 23; 
        unsigned int exponent : 8;
