I am trying to cast a float into a byte array of length 4, and then back again. But I it doesn's seems to work.
Here's what I've done:
byte[] b = BitConverter.GetBytes(90);
float fb = BitConverter.ToSingle(b, 0);
I expected fb = 90, but it's 1.26E-43.
I know that my converter is little endian, so I've also tried to reverse the array, like this:
byte[] b = BitConverter.GetBytes(90);
Array.Reverse(b);
float fb = BitConverter.ToSingle(b, 0);
Then I got the answer fb = 9.0E+15.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
BitConverter.GetBytes(90);
will give you the bytes for the integer value of 90
. Since you want the bytes for the float
value, you need to specify that:
BitConverter.GetBytes((float)90.0);
or
BitConverter.GetBytes(90.0f);
