Is it possible to store an float value in int variable

Question

I want to store an float value in an integer variable and print that integer variable and i want to see the float value itself. Can it be done or not ?

Answer 1

If you want to see the bit pattern of your float variable you could do this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void) {
    uint8_t bitpattern[sizeof (float)];
    float f = 3.1414;
    memcpy(bitpattern, &f, sizeof (float));

    for (int i = 0; i < sizeof (float); i++)
      printf("%02x ", bitpattern[i]);
}
