Question
how memory is alloted for float nos,are they stored in form of binary equivalents like int?

Answer
No. For float and double the value is stored in a different way.
It uses a IEEE standard way and you can read this from the standard.
Search in the google for this and you will get many pages and also examples.

Also, I have already answered this in one of the previous questions posed to me and you can refer that also.
