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

When you multiply by 100, that is an integer, so it is doing an implicit conversion at that step. If you put an "F" behind the 100, I'll bet they'd be the same.

I typically use boxing/unboxing with the parentheses when it is a reference type. When it is a value type, I try to use the Convert static methods.

Try Convert.ToSingle(YourNumber); for a more reliable conversion.
