Multiply two float number

[hqt]

I have a small problem with float number in C. It doesn't work as I think. This is my code:

float a,b,c;
cin>>a>>b;
c=a*(float)b;
cout<<c;

with a=5.6 and b=2.4. c=0. I know there's a problem with my float processing. So, who can help me please.

thanks

What do you mean it doesn't work as you think? I don't know what you're talking about.

Try giving a small but complete code sample, and a description of the actual input.

More than likely, the problem is in code that you haven't posted.

Sorry but that code does work, at least on any proper compiler. (Turbid Crap doesn't count)
i.e. It will not produce a result of zero with the supplied inputs.
