Data will be lost when double is converted to float.

 

 

For example, the following statement:

 

Float floatval = 3.15884534;

 

This 3.15884534 will be changed to 3.15885 and saved in floatval. That isFloat is precise to the fourth digit after the decimal point.

 

 

 

When reading from a file, read by double first

 

For example, my tmp.txt contains a 2.446789 number (note that there are six digits after a small number of points)

 

Run the followingCode:

 

Const char * test_file_name = "C: // tmp.txt"; <br/> void testreadfloatfromfile () <br/>{< br/> float floatval = 0; <br/> ifstream ifstr (test_file_name); <br/> ifstr> floatval; <br/> cout <"floatval =" <floatval <Endl; <br/> ifstr. close (); <br/> system ("pause"); <br/>} 

 

The running result is:

 

Floatval= 2.44679

 

2.446789 is changed to 2.44679, which means that the last digit (the fifth digit) is the rounding estimate.
