Calculator to convert binary to float value — what am I doing wrong?

Question

I have the following code, which writes 6 floats to disk in binary form and reads them back:

#include 
#include 

int main()
{
         


        

Answer 1

This is an endianness issue if you for example switch:

1f 85 6b 3e 

to:

3e 6b 85 1f

this will result in .23 when you convert it using one of your converters, for example I used IEEE 754 Converter and Floating Point to Hex Converter allows you to do double as well as single precision conversions.
