I wanna send a float number to PC. Acutually I wanna dissect a float into 4bytes first and send all the 4 bytes to Intel PC. After receiving them, I assemble them to a float.

My question is: Is float compatible with it on Intel cpu?

Thanks.

    Floating point values typically are described as being "compatible" with an IEEE Format that corresponds to both the format of the bits (mantissa and exponent) as well as the values that each bit present.

    The 283xx floating point unit (FPU) performs IEEE single-precision floating-point operations.

    How this data would be interepreted by software or hardware on an Intel processor I am not 100% sure.

    Thanks.

    I've tried. And It's really compatible with VC's float.
