X-Hacker.org- Microsoft C - <b>fmsbintoieee() convert ms binary single-precision number to ieee</b>
[<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
fmsbintoieee() Convert MS Binary Single-Precision Number to IEEE
#include <math.h>
int fmsbintoieee(msbin,ieee);
float *msbin; Pointer to MS binary
float *ieee; Pointer to IEEE float
fmsbintoieee() converts the Microsoft binary format, 'msbin', to the
single-precision IEEE format value 'ieee'. 'float' values in
Microsoft C are normally in IEEE format.
Returns: 0 if successful, 1 if an overflow resulted.
Notes: fmsbintoieee() does not handle IEEE NANs and infinities,
and IEEE denormals are treated a 0 in the conversion.
Microsoft BASIC stores numbers in Microsoft binary
format.
-------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
The following statements convert a Microsoft binary float to an IEEE
float.
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h> /* for perror */
main()
{
float IEEE, msbin;
if(fmsbintoieee(&msbin,&IEEE) == 1)
perror("OVERFLOW CONVERTING TO IEEE");
}
