Emitrax, you can do what you want to do but it is going to take significant work on your part. The relevant standard is IEEE 754-2008 (previously known as IEEE 754r) which was published in August of 2008.
Floating point formats defined by this standard are classified as either interchange or non-interchange. In the standard, storage formats are narrow interchange formats, i.e. the set of floating point values that can be stored by the specified binary encoding is a proper subset of wider floating point formats such as the 32-bit float and 64-bit double.
For example here is how to encode and decode a half-precision (i.e. 16-bit) binary encoded floating point number.
See the blog entry Half-Precision Floating Point Format for further information and an example of how to do the same thing using Python.

Dear colleagues,
One of my friend have a problem with c code. While compiling a c program it displays a message like
"array type has incomplete element type". Any body can provide a solution for it.

I would like to print value of key generate like this....
key_t k = ftok(".",'c');
printf("key is %d \n" , k);
Is there other way to print this type. I dont think I am getting right output which is
key is 1662074913 (shouldn't it be 6362074913) since 'c' is 63 in hex (ascii table).... (2 Replies)
