g++ test.cpp
test.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
test.cpp:10: error: invalid operands of types ‘float’ and ‘int’ to binary ‘operator&’

char lastbit = d & 0x1;
Nice try but it won't work :P You can't use bitwise operators with doubles or floats.
And what do you mean with 'last bit'? Check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_precision
The number is 0.15625 but the 'last bit' (the least significant bit of the fraction part) is zero.
Maybe what you want is the last
digit.
