Answer 1

Most floating point numbers don't have exact binary representation, so they should not be compared directly.

in line 6, you should write:
while(x==(float)1.1)

Answer 2

And what should I search in Search engines to get further details about conversions like (float)1.1.
implicit conversion or what is it called?..
I've just begun,so don't know much of the terminology

Answer 3

Beacause of the memory representation of float variables.
1.1 is represented as 1.0999999 in memory as binary numbers. @blue has suggested the correct possible solution to the problem.

Answer 4

I just tried what Blue has suggested and got this error.
Error: Expected expression before float.

Answer 5

It worked fine on my device. Don't forget the parentheses () on float

Answer 6

These conversions are called explicit conversion meaning forceful conversion of data types.
