Floating point variables in c++

Question

When i use float or double in c++ after eight digit is getting overflow, how fix it?

This is my code :

#include <iostream.h> 
#include <conio.h> 
void main() { 
  double x; 
  cout<<"double : "; 
  cin>>x; 
  cout<<endl<<x; 
  getch(); 
}

When cin = 123456789 , this is my cout : 123457e.08.

Answer 1

使用点：double x = 2398479238749234.0

Answer 2

If you declare a float you can type f at the end like this:

float var = 123456789.0f;

---

A simple yet interesting demonstration:

To see the importance of f try this code:

 float f1 = 1.3f;
 //test f1
 if ( f1 == 1.3f )
  std::cout<<"f1 is equal to 1.3f"<<std::endl;
 else
  std::cout<<"f1 is not equal to 1.3f"<<std::endl;

 float f2 = 1.3;
 //test f2
 if ( f2 == 1.3 )
  std::cout<<"f2 is equal to 1.3"<<std::endl;
 else
  std::cout<<"f2 is not equal to 1.3"<<std::endl;

Output:

f1 is equal to 1.3f
f2 is not equal to 1.3
