I want to copy a float value to an allocated block of memory, with an offset from the memory block pointer.
How do I do this?Code:void Bank::PokeFloat(const int& pos, const float& n) { if (pos<0) return; if (pos+4>size) return; memcpy(buf+pos,&n,4); }

Pretty much like what you did.
Now assuming you tried it, what were your observations and error messages?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Why do you want to do it?
