Hello Nayani,

When you say avr-gcc supports only float and not double do you mean that 
when a variable in declared as double, it is equivalent of declaring it as 
float?

Thanks for giving me the decimal equivalent of the byte pattern. I would 
like to know how you do it. I tried googling around to get info but failed. 
May be i was not searching right!
