QUESTION: For thispart of the lab, your job is to finish writing the functionfloat2bits in file FLOAT2BITS.c that has as input aFLOAT called fand as output a CHAR arraycalled fb containing as elements the bits off andinserted separators for the 3 components of a floatingpoint numberrepresentation in binary. For example, if f contains25.8125 then array fb should havethe below 38 characters stored from element 0 to 37.
0 | 10000011 |10011101000000000000000
Note that the suppliedfunction float2bitshas some very helpfulhints.
/*
* Showing the bit-representation of a float value
*
* Input ... f
* Output ... Bits of f stored as 0 or 1 in chararray fb
*
* fb must be dimensioned at least 38.

{
unsigned char *b;
unsigned char h,b2[4];
int i,k,index;

printf("%c ", b[0]);
/*
b[0] ... b[3] now contains the bytesof the float f.
*/
/*
Insert the code to place the valueof the bits in array b
in the proper location in the chararray fb using the Boolean
operator & and a masking byte h(e.g., 00100000). Between the
sign bit and the exponent field addthe characters " | " for a
separator. Do the same betweenthe exponent and significand
fields.
Remember that thecetus computers are little endian!
