Hello,

I wont to implement the floatingpoint routines from Steve Wozniak.
Enaugh info is availble on the web but
I Have trouble to convert a float to the 4 byte format, and back.

In the source I found as an example 1.4426950409 => $80,$5C,$55,$1E

Can someone explane me the conversion.

Thank for any help.

Cheers,

Jan

It's not super-complicated, but I stalled on my attempts due to a secret combination of lack of spare time, lack of enthusiasm, and lack of talent. I speculate that a small improvement in any of those three qualities could have produced working code, but that's just the way the cookie crumbled. Maybe later ...

Buried in the rabbit hole of all those threads is this post which covers converting the bytes the floating point number they represent, and goes through some examples.
