    Numbers rounding off

    When I try to display a number like .02, it shows as 0.0. How can I fix that? Thanks

    What code are you using to display it?
    Pentium 4 - 2.0GHz, 512MB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440
    WinXP
    Visual Studio .Net 2003
    DX9 October 2004 Update (R.I.P. VC++ 6.0 Compatability)

    Code:
    std::cout << .02 << std::endl;

    I've really gotta stay out of the C++ forum (I know nothing about these commands)

    But some quick tutorial searches on Google and testing showed me that:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    
    int main(void)
    {
    
    	std::cout <<.02<< std::endl;
    
    	return 0;
    }
    Displays:
    0.02
    Press any key to continue

    And
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    
    int main(void)
    {
    
    	std::cout <<".02"<< std::endl;
    
    	return 0;
    }
    Displays:
    .02
    Press any key to continue

    So, to answer your question, I don't know what the problem is.

    EDIT:
    The difference is with the quotation marks in the cout line.

    Or...

    you could simply do

    Code:
    cout << .02f << endl;
    Code:
    cout << (float).02 << endl;
    Code:
    cout << static_cast<float>(.02) << endl;
