Question

Assume number1 = 56 and number2 = 12 and are passed to the following function

//************************************************************************************/

//

//                              FloatCompare

//

//       Description:Accepts two float numbers and compares them bitwise based

//           on floating point representations. This function will have

//            to convert the given numbers into IEEE floating

//            representation and then do bitwise comparison

//       Preconditions:two input arguments are passed

//       Postconditions:Returns 1,-1 or 0 based on the comparison

//                  1 if number1>number2

// -1 if number2>number1

// 0 if equal

//       Calls:           N/A

//       Called by:       main

//

int FloatCompare(float number1,float number2)

Explanation / Answer

main.cpp

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// function declaration
int FloatCompare(float number1,float number2);

int main ()
{
   // local variable declaration:
   float number1;
float number2;
int comparison;
number1=56;
number2=12;

   // calling a function to get max value.
   comparison=FloatCompare(number1,number2);

         if (comparison==1) cout << "number1 is greater than number2";
       else if (comparison==-1) cout << "number2 s greater than number1";
       else if (comparison==0) cout << "Number are equal";
       else cout << "Error ";

   return 0;
}

// function returning the max between two numbers
int FloatCompare(float number1,float number2)
{
   // local variable declaration
   int result;

   if (number1 > number2)
      result = 1;
   else if (number1 < number2)
      result = -1;
else if (number1 = number2)
result = 0;
   return result;
}
