How to manipulate binary?

[S56A]

hi my assignment is to write a binary calculator that works with floating point for simple math (+,-,x,/). i have no idea how to do this. the binary numbers need to be from the user. Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

You could start out by implementing this function:

#include <stdio.h>

/* readbin converts a number encoded in binary to a C 'double' value and stores
 * it in *dp. Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure, and EOF if an error or
 * end-of-file occurred on iop. */
int readbin(double *dp, FILE *iop);
