I want to do the conversion for the following type mention above. I am stuck of doing it. Is anyone have any idea of doing the conversion above? Thank you very much.

You're mixing concepts. Int and float are c data types. hex is a display format. How a number is stored is quite separate from how a number is displayed. What do you actually want to be changing?
It is too clear and so it is hard to see.

Had he known what fire was,
He could have cooked his rice much sooner.
Then if I change the display of float to int then will I able to get change back for the float display?Originally Posted by King Mir
int and float are two different data types not display formats.
You can cast a float to an int which will throw away the fractional part (e.g. 12.34 will become 12) but going back from the int to float won't add it again.
But as long as you don't change your float variable that's not a problem.
Can you give an example code of what you want to achieve?

Assuming you mean a hex string, you still need to specify how you want to convert it.
It's like saying you want to convert a circle to a square. We don't know if you want to cut round pieces off it, or add on some flat edges, or squash it into shape, and clearly the results are not the same.
I can think of more than two ways to convert a float to a hex string.
You also wont get any code from us without showing what you have tried.

I don't think anyone can help before we know what you want to see.
Suppose you had a program that worked. What kind of output is there?
I have done casting. and it work. but the casting cannot retrieve the value or decimal point onward when cast from integer back to float right? Do you need this code?
I have not write the program for hex. Still in process. but the expected output should be like something like this
output
float 1022.12
hex 03FE.1EB8
int 1022
hex 03FE
float 1022.12

I think I know what function you need.

Now, you will need to do some additional math before you convert the fractional portion to hex, but I think you know how to make integers hex, so you should be able to figure it out.
Correct, casting float to int just works in one direction because you loose information (the fractional part)

Your first and last line are the same. Thus you don't need to convert the int back to float. Just print the original float.

C doesn't have a built in function to print floating point numbers in hex. You'll have to write one yourself. For the rest, you can use printf.
It is too clear and so it is hard to see.

Sure it does--the 'a' and 'A' conversion specifiers print floating point numbers in hexadecimal (at least in C99 and later). printf(3): formatted output conversion - Linux man page
Example:
Output:Code:#include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("%a\n", 3.1415927); return 0; }
Code:0x1.921fb5a7ed197p+1
Neat.
So the OP can use one variable and printf to display all the formats. No need for fmod either, just use print's precision specifier to make it round the output to integers.
