decimal to array

[systemcrash]

Hello,

I have a to convert a float number to U8 array format how to do this ?

example 0.6 should be XX XX XX XX.

1.2 should be YY YY YY YY

array size should be 4 only.

I did try using string to byte array function but I do not know whether it is proper or not?

because for 1.2 I got the answer as 49 46 50 (byte 0,1,2)

Thanks

Is this what you are looking for?

Well if you type 0.35 as input number the type cast gives me array size of 16.

I need to convert 0.35 (or any number) to array format but array size should only be 4 & when I reconvert array I should get back the same input number.

The size of a single float is only 4 bytes.

Your starting data type must be bigger than a Single. A double is only 8 bytes.

What data type are you using as your input?

The example will only give you 4 bytes no matter what number you type in.

What is the data type of your FLOAT? Single is 4 bytes, Double is 8

I do not know where you are getting an array size of 16

Is this what your are trying to get the 32 bits of a Single Float?

Single

Single-precision floating-point numbers have a 32-bit IEEE single-precision format.

Put .35 in and you get .35 back

I think I overlooked some stuff,

Thank you Omar II

That would be an EXT data type
