IEEE Floating Point Representation

The C int type represents signed integers using 2's complement binary representation.

The C unsigned int type represents unsigned integers, using binary representation.

The C float and double types represent real numbers using IEEE floating point bit reprensentation.

Typical sizes of these C types:

      type            size
      int             4 bytes
      unsigned int    4 bytes
      float           4 bytes
      double          8 bytes
