Problem converting from int to float

Question

There is a strange behavior I cannot understand. Agreed that float point number are approximations, so even operations that are obviously returning a number without decimal

Answer 1

this code...

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            float result = 195.95F*100;
            int intresult = (int)(195.95F * 100);
        }
    }
}

give this IL

.method private hidebysig static void  Main(string[] args) cil managed
{
  .entrypoint
  // Code size       14 (0xe)
  .maxstack  1
  .locals init ([0] float32 result,
           [1] int32 intresult)
  IL_0000:  nop
  IL_0001:  ldc.r4     19595.
  IL_0006:  stloc.0
  IL_0007:  ldc.i4     0x4c8a
  IL_000c:  stloc.1
  IL_000d:  ret
} // end of method Program::Main

look at IL_00001 -> the compier has done the calc.. Otherwise there are the decimal -> binary conversion problem
