Is using increment (operator++) on floats bad style?

Question

Is it considered \"bad style\" to use the increment operator (++) on floats? It compiles just fine but I find it smelly and counter-intuitive.

The question: In what

Answer 1

When you add a lots of 1.0 to a float, because of floating point arithmetic you might be a little off in the end

The best way is to do

for ( int i = 0; i < 100; i++ )
{
     float f = 2.433f + i * 1.0f;

instead of

for ( float f = 2.433f; f < 102.433f; f += 1.0f )

In the second case the floating point arithmetic error adds up and in the first case it doesn't. As certain users have pointed out in comments below adding integrals floats might not accumulate errors but in general it is a good idea to avoid it.
