Transmit Float as Byte Stream Using Union

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

typedef union {
    float f;
    uint8_t bytes[4];
} FloatPacket;

int main() {
    float input;
    scanf("%f", &input);

    // Fill union and print 4 bytes
    FloatPacket floatPkt;
    floatPkt.f = input;

    /*Iterate the loop 4 times and 
        print the floatPkt values. */
    for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
    printf("Byte %d: %d\n", i, floatPkt.bytes[i]);

    return 0;
}

Solving Approach

    // Fill union and print 4 bytes
    FloatPacket floatPkt;
    floatPkt.f = input;

    /*Iterate the loop 4 times and 
        print the floatPkt values. */
    for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
    printf("Byte %d: %d\n",i,floatPkt.bytes[i]);
