I am not looking for a correction, just an explanation. In the snippet below, why am I getting the output as 2.000000?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
double static const val = 0x1P1;
printf("%d\t%f\n", val, val);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Shouldn’t this be equal to 11?
Is there any reason why the base was chosen as
2
? Why not10
or16
?
