I need to transform a float to IEEE (the float is given by a scanf, and it has to come from the scanf otherwise it will drop and error) and I don't seem to get it to work. I tried using argc and argv and it was correct but my submitting platform didn't accept it because I need to get the float by a scan. The problem is since I'm trying to use the scan, it won't print the correct Bits.
The output for the number 10 should be:
bits: 01000001001000000000000000000000
sinal: +
expoente: 3
mantissa: 1.25000000
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef unsigned char Byte;
int expoente;
char sinal;
float mant=1;
int vector[32];
int vectorCounter=0;
char number;
void escreve_IEEE(char sinal, int expoente, float mant)
{
printf ("sinal: %c\n", sinal);
printf ("expoente: %d\n", expoente);
printf ("mantissa: %.8f\n", mant);
}
int expoenteBaseDois(int exp)
{
int result = 1;
int i = 0;
while (i < exp) {
result = 2 * result;
i++;
}
return result;
}
void conversion(Byte b[]) {
int i = 3;
int v;
int s;
while ( i >= 0) {
v = b[i];
s = 7;

vector[vectorCounter] = (v >> s) & 1;
