Can I compare and add a floating-point number to an integer in C?

Question

Can I compare a floating-point number to an integer?

Will the float compare to integers in code?

float f;     // f has a saved predetermined floating         


        

Answer 1

Yes, and sometimes it'll do exactly what you expect.

As the others have pointed out, comparing, eg, 1.0 == 1 will work out, because the integer 1 is type cast to double (not float) before the comparison.

However, other comparisons may not.
