  • 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;
    }
