If the binary equivalent of 5.375 in normalized form is 0100 0000 1010 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000, what will be the output of the following program?
#include <stdio.h>
int main ( )
{
float a =5.375 ;
char *p ;
int i ;
p = (char *) &a ;
for (i = 0 ; i <= 3 ; i++)
printf("%02 X \n" , (unsigned char) p[ i ]);
return 0 ;
}

- 40 AC 00 00
- 04 CA 00 00
- 00 00 AC 40
- 00 00 CA 04
Correct Option: C
Binary equivalent of 5.375 in normalized form is
0100 -> 4
0000 -> 0
1010 -> A
1100 -> C
0000 -> 0
0000 -> 0
0000 -> 0
0000 -> 0
Since the PC's (Intel processors) use " LITTLE ENDIAN" byte order, the higher order byte of number is stored in lowest address. The result is written from bottom to top.
