cyping float into char array( or byte array )

[venAdder]

Hi,

I want to copy say 100 floats and store them as char array.

This is what I have in mind, considering VC++ MSDN says on 32 bit flaot is 4 bytes and char is 1 byte

char *temp = ( char* ) &floatVal;

char arr[ 20 ];
for( int i = 0; i < 4; i++ ){
arr[ i ] = temp++;
}

i don't even know if this will work.

can memcpy do this kinda thing?

like memcpy( arr, &floatval, sizeof( float ) );

I r4eally have no idea how to approach this.

basically the problem is I want a char array of floating point values.
