type

Question

When I do the following why do i get a message that it needs to be a double? One number after a decimal point isn't float ?
float x = 10.2 % 4;

Answer 1

This is what documentation says :
By default, a real numeric literal on the right side of the assignment operator is treated as double. Therefore, to initialize a float variable, use the suffix f or F, as in the following example:

float x = 3.5F;
If you do not use the suffix in the previous declaration, you will get a compilation error because you are trying to store a double value into a float variable.

Answer 2

You don't like the suffix? :)
Just declare them as double.
That's a language specification, that's how you declare float.

Answer 3

an integer is 4, a float is 4.0 joseph prijs

Answer 4

Thanks! So what WOULD be considered a float? Is there anything that could validly be declared as a float without a suffix? (I know an integer could but that doesn't need float...

Answer 5

Ok
