# FileWriteFloat
|
||
|
||
The function writes the value of the float parameter to a bin-file, starting from the current position of the file pointer.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
uint FileWriteFloat(
|
||
int file_handle, // File handle
|
||
float value // Value to be written
|
||
);
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Parameters
|
||
|
||
file_handle
|
||
|
||
[in] File descriptor returned by [FileOpen()](/en/docs/files/fileopen).
|
||
|
||
value
|
||
|
||
[in] The value of float type.
|
||
|
||
Return Value
|
||
|
||
If successful the function returns the number of bytes written (in this case [sizeof](/en/docs/basis/operations/other#sizeof)(float)=4). The file pointer is shifted by the same number of bytes.
|
||
|
||
Example:
