What if you want to see how a float works?
Hex output is quite reasonable for such.
%X takes BYTES off the stack and displays them. It doesn't care what
type they were  before they got put on the stack.
And, there is no difference on the stack between an int and a float
(other than perhaps the number of bytes, a size issue).

Poster could have used %lX for float or double as %X is int, whatever
size that is (target dependant)..
