Is it possible to store an float in integer variable and print it the integer variable as the float

Question

I want to get a float number and store it in an interger variable and print that integer variable so that it prints the float value which is stored in it ?

Answer 1

the step at which you store the float in int variable the number will be rounded off as an integer and stored and hence whenever you call that variable you will get the whole number and not the desired float number

#include <stdio.h>

main()

{
    float x = 1234.123;
    int i;
    *(float *)&i = x;
    
    printf("actual integer value: %d\n", i);
    printf("float value stored in integer: %f", *(float *)&i);
}
