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;
}

Thank preeti and pradeep.
How do normaliize ? please say anyone for me.

Floating point base conversion of 5.375 would be
101.01100 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 10000000
(char*) will be make it as a character array.
5.375 = 101.01100 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 10000000
and bcoz of unsigned char, it wud be treated as,
p[0] = 00000000 00000000
p[1] = 00000000 00000000
p[2] = 10101100 00000000
p[2] = 00000000 10000000
=> in hexadecimal form (%02x) :
p[0] = 00
p[1] = 00
p[2] = ac
p[3] = 40
101.01100 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 10000000
(char*) will be make it as a character array.
5.375 = 101.01100 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 10000000
and bcoz of unsigned char, it wud be treated as,
p[0] = 00000000 00000000
p[1] = 00000000 00000000
p[2] = 10101100 00000000
p[2] = 00000000 10000000
=> in hexadecimal form (%02x) :
p[0] = 00
p[1] = 00
p[2] = ac
p[3] = 40

In little endian, lower order bytes will be stored in lower addresses. But how this is the answer?

Hey can any one tell the procedure of normalisation?

What do you mean by big endian and little endian ?

Hi.
Rithvika normalization is one way to reduce the redundancy in table.

I have one doubt here we used unsigned char why don't we use signed char ?
