I’m completely new to programming and C++. I’m doing some practice exercises but I noticed when I add large numbers together the output value is truncated as if its an int data type even though both data types are float.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
int main() {
float num1 = 253654.69;
float num2 = 362554.73;
float num3 = num1 + num2;
std::cout << num3;
return 0;
}
// all variables are float type
// expected output = 616209.42 but value is being truncated = 616209
