If the binary eauivalent of 5.375 in normalised form is 0100 0000 1010 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000, what will be the output of the program (on intel machine)?
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main()
{
    float a=5.375;
    char *p;
    int i;
    p = (char*)&a;
    for(i=0; i<=3; i++)
        printf("%02x\n", (unsigned char)p[i]);
    return 0;
}
40 AC 00 00
04 CA 00 00
00 00 AC 40
00 00 CA 04

@ Hajmal

They gave the binary equivalent of 5.375 in normal form

0100 -> 4
0000 -> 0

1010 -> A
1100 -> C

0000 -> 0
0000 -> 0

0000 -> 0
0000 -> 0
