This program converts floating point numbers to their IEEE754 representation. It can convert it to any size wanted. Upper limit is bounded to double. Therefore it is intended to use with small numbers.
You can use either one of the methods to compile and run.
make run
or
mkdir -p bin
gcc src/main.c src/io_handler.c src/converter.c -o bin/main
./bin/main
Run this commands from the root directory of this repository.
q
Exits from command line interface.
o
Change float and decimal sizes. Program will prompt necessary information.
d <[0, 64]>
Change the decimal size.
>>> d 10 // this will set decimal size to 10 bits.
e <[0, 63]>
Usage same as 'd'. This will set exponent size for floating point numbers.
m <[0, 63]>
Usage same as 'd'. This will set mantissa size for floating point numbers.
Important Note: Setting float size to a number bigger than 64 will not produce correct answers. (floatsize = 1(sign bit) + exponent size + mantissa size)
ff <[0, 1]>
Force float option. When this is set to the 0(false), any number that doesn't contain '.' will be converted to integer.
f <input.txt> <output.txt>
This will read from the input file and output the result to stdout or to the output file if it is given.
Numbers has to be seperated with new line, otherwise only the first number on that line will be converted.
