[avr-gcc-list] storing a float value to a 8-bit registers

[Abhijeet D Mhatre]

Hi Friends
I am I am making a sound decibel meter Currently I am using the atmel's 
atmega8L
Now the problem is that how do I store a float value in 8 bit registers . 


 I have the ADC o/p in a 8 bit register
 I wanted to do operations on that, so I stored the value in an unsigned char 
temp1. Then for finding the decibel value I did a 
10 * log10(temp1) The result is now a float


Now if I want to store the float value back to the 8 bit registers how do I do 
that?  Even if I know how many bytes are taken by the float the float value 
will be in 2's complement. Can you tell me what methods are usually used.
