void printSingle(int f)

{

    int binaryNum[33];

    int i = 0;

    while(f>0)

    {

        binaryNum[i] = f % 2;

        f = f/2;

        i++;

    for (int j=i-1; j>= 0; j--)

1. Why does little-endian vs. big-endian matter here in this code
2. Describe how pointer casting works to get the value into a different format.
3. Describe how you could break apart a floating-point number into parts
using bitwise operators? Would that care about endian?
