Hi. You can use "union" like this:

union Data
{
       float ff;
       int32_t ii;
       uint32_t uii;
       uint8_t cc[4];
};

//in one place
...
Data your_data;
your_data.ff = -1.999;
int32_t i_value = your_data.ii;
uint32_t ui_value = your_data.uii;
...


//in second place
...
Data your_data;
your_data.ii = -1073750213; //this is a "-1.999" in signed integer representation
//or
//your_data.uii = 3221217083; //this is a "-1.999" in unsigned integer representation
float f_value = your_data.ff;
...

Best, VL.
