hex value ==> floating point value

Q
Question:

For our GPS application I need to convert the minutes part (heximal value)
to a decimal/floating point value.

So: 41609218 (4 bytes) has to be converted to: 14.034 (approx)

(format of the float is IEEE-754 )

Thanx in advance for any help!!!!

You could try pack/unpack, they might be useful in this case.

OK, I realize that what I am asking here is not likely to have a answer within the C standard. Nonetheless, it is not specific to any particular platform, so I'll hazard the question anyway. A C double can be aliased by an array of unsigned char, to which any desired byte pattern may be written. Is there any somewhat portable way of assigning a byte pattern such that the result will, with very high probability, _not_ count as a valid...

I'm having problems with inconsistent floating point behavior resulting in e.g. assert( x > 0.0 && putchar('\n') && x == 0.0 ); holding. (Actually, my problem is the dual one where I get failed assertions for assertions that at first thought ought to hold, but that's not important.) At the end is a full program containing the above seemingly

First, sorry if this is off-topic, not strictly being a C++ issue. I could not find a ng on numerics or serialization and I figure this ng is the closest I can get. Now the question: I want to serialize doubles in human-readable decimal form and be sure I get the exact same binary values when I read them back. (Right now, I don't care about NaN, infinities etc.)

char and unsigned char have specific purposes: char is useful for representing characters of the basic execution character set and unsigned char is useful for representing the values of individual bytes. The remainder of the standard integer types are general purpose. Their only requirement is to satisfy a minimum range of values, and also int "has the natural size suggested by the architecture of the execution environment". What are the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
