I hope this serves to illustrate why is it so dangerous to think that arrays and pointers are interchangeable, or that similarity of notation implies similarity of results. This excellent example, Don's notes to various comments already made here, and the use of the non-crossplatform use of the union to munge data into the form you should have explicitly made it amply illustrates why I don't do 'C'.
