Recall that a float is stored in the following format:

±sign 1.mantissa • 2^exponent?127

where sign is 1 bit, exponent is 8 bits, and mantissa is 23bits. Write a C function that accepts an int parameter and returnsa float represented by the bits in the int. The 32-bit integer isorganized as 1-bit sign, 8-bit exponent, 23-bit mantissa. Forexample, 0x3F800000 represents 1.0 because the sign bit is 0, theexponent is 127, and the mantissa is all 0’s.

It has to be a proper c executable code.Please help.
