Converting float values from big endian to little endian

Here is a function can reverse byte order of any type.

template <typename T>
T bswap(T val) {
    T retVal;
    char *pVal = (char*) &val;
    char *pRetVal = (char*)&retVal;
    int size = sizeof(T);
    for(int i=0; i<size; i++) {
        pRetVal[size-1-i] = pVal[i];
    }

    return retVal;
}

simply reverse the four bytes works

float ReverseFloat( const float inFloat )
{
   float retVal;
   char *floatToConvert = ( char* ) & inFloat;
   char *returnFloat = ( char* ) & retVal;

   // swap the bytes into a temporary buffer
   returnFloat[0] = floatToConvert[3];
   returnFloat[1] = floatToConvert[2];
   returnFloat[2] = floatToConvert[1];
   returnFloat[3] = floatToConvert[0];

   return retVal;
}
