If the binary eauivalent of 5.375 in normalised form is 0100 0000 1010 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000, what will be the output of the program (on intel machine)?

 #include
 #include<math.h></span> 
  int main() 
  {   
     float a=5.375;  
     char *p;     
     int i;  
     p = (char*)&a;   
     for(i=0; i3; i++)          
       printf("x\n", (unsigned char)p[i]); 
     return 0; }
