title: Get exact bit representation of a double, in C++
body: <p>Let us say that we have a double, say, x = 4.3241; </p>
  
  <p>Quite simply, I would like to know, how in C++, can one simply retrieve an int for <em>each</em> bit in the representation of a number? </p>
  
  <p>I have seen other <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14328993/bit-representation-of-a-double-number">questions</a> and read the page on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14328993/bit-representation-of-a-double-number">bitset</a>, but I'm afraid I still do not understand how to retrieve those bits. </p>
  
  <p>So, for example, I would like the input to be <code>x = 4.53</code>, and if the bit representation was <code>10010101</code>, then I would like 8 ints, each one representing each <code>1</code> or <code>0</code>.</p>
