host to network byte order for floats, and float32_t?

Subject: host to network byte order for floats, and float32_t?

Newbie question 1:

There are ntohl htonl ntohs htons functions that translate between host and network byte order for integer variables. Is there a need to worry about network byte ordering for floating point numbers such as float or double?

Newbie question 2:

Also there are commonly defined integer value types like uint32_t or int16_t (usually in stdint.h). Is there a float32_t (for float) or float64_t (for double)?

Regards,
Waz
