Float to Qbytearray in hex format

sandycoolxyz

Hi,
I am using qt 4.8.5.
I would like to append 4byte float value to qbytearray.
eg. float f = 32.6 (0x42026666)
if qbytearray is 0x6537, i would like to append the float value in hex as well.
i.e result = 0x653742026666

i tried this but i didnt get the result that i expected.

bytes.append(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(&f), sizeof(f));

thanks in advance.

Not exactly clear what you mean here.
Is this already stored as different characters '0', 'x', '6', '5', '3', '7' or is it a two byte bytearray of 0x65, 0x37?

Note, "0x" is typically printed as addition for human interpretation. It is not typically expected to be part of QByteArray.

Hi @sandycoolxyz

did you try it the same as with the integers already:

union (
int iValue;
float fValue;
};
bytes.append(QByteArray::number(iValue,16)).rightJustified(8,'0');

Of course, you should consider to use a more C++-like approach that works with all standard data types:

QByteArray data;
QDataStream io(&data,QIODevice::WriteOnly);
io << fValue;

@m-sue
I used the union method. Works fine with the positive numbers.
But if its negative value following gets appended ffffffffc201999a instead of c201999a

int iValue;

use quint32 iValue; instead
