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;
}

The above explanations are correct I would like to give an idea about another method of arrangement i.e 'Big-endian' here we can arrange 1234 as 3-4-1-2 or 2-1-4-3 in the memory addresses

VISHAL explanation is fine.

Satish, p declared as a character pointer,so a is not a character type. so we can covert a type to p char type.
char *p;
int i=10;
p=(char*)i;// type casting is done.
char *p;
int i=10;
p=(char*)i;// type casting is done.

I am also same doubt as Shweta. Why we take every two bits rather than 1 bit.

@Mitesh: Intel processors follow little endian. Big endian is followed by some other vendors like motorola...

I cant understand the concept clearly anybody explain clearly.
What is big Indian and little Indian?
How to do normalizaton?
