Question

using C , comments will be appreciated.
Question1
Write down an function named bitwisedFloatCompare(float number1, float number2)that tests whether a floating point number number1is less than, equal to or greater than another floating point number number2, by simply comparing their floating point representations bitwise from left to right, stopping as soon as the first differingbit is encountered. The fact that this can be done easily is the main motivation for biased exponent notation. The function should return 1 if number1 > number2,return -1 if number2 > number1 and should return 0 if the two numbers are equal. Please notethe solutionis constrainedto be implemented using bitwise comparison of the two numbers.
Question 2: Write a function named printFloatRepresentation(float number) that will print the floating point representation of a number using the format given below. (Sign bit) exponent in binary (assumed bit).significandFor example if the number passed an argument is 71 yourprogram should print
(0) 10000101 (1).00011100000000000000000
Similarly if the number passed to the function as argument is -71 the program should print
(1) 10000101 (1).00011100000000000000000
The main function and function skeletons forthe twofunctions are given in the attached C course. Complete the two functions mentioned in the question.
