Typecasting

 struct info{    
    float one;
    int two;
    int three;
    int four;
    ...
    ...
    ...
};

int main()

{

        struct info time, stime;

        time.one = 1;
        time.two = 2;
        time.three = 3;
        time.four = 4;
        time.five = 5;
        time.six = 6;
        time.seven = 7;
        time.eight = 8;
        time.nine = 9;
        time.ten = 10;
        time.eleven = 11;
        time.twelve = 12;
        time.thirteen = 13;
        time.fourteen = 14;
        time.fifteen = 15;
        time.sixteen = 16;
        time.seventeen = 17;
        time.eighteen = 18;
        time.nineteen = 19;
        time.twenty = 20;
        stime.one = 2.4 ;

Have a struct. Every element is initialized as type int. Obviously, the 2.4 will be truncated to 2. When I initialize "one" as type float before main, and call "stime.one" later in the program, i get some type of garbage value (1072693248). I tried leaving it as int and typecasting, no luck. Can't find a solution to this, any ideas?
Thanks in advance, let me know if more info is needed.

Look at line 2. The member "one" is of type float, so the value 2.4 will not be converted to an int within the expression "stime.one = 2.4". The value 2.4 is of type double and will be converted to an float (i.e. the value 2.4f).

I won't even ask why you're trying to have 20 distinct variables to hold 20 numeric values in sequence. Arrays are designed for such things.

You will need to provide a SMALL but COMPLETE sample of code (i.e. one that people can compile/build/execute without modification) that demonstrates your problem. Odds are, some code is molesting a pointer, or falling off the end of an array, or is defining something differently than you've shown.

I do understand that this same task could be completed using arrays. I am however, trying to cement my understanding in every aspect of C, and structures were something that needed to be contrived with to fit any use in my program at all.

Nevertheless, I discovered that my problem was forgetting to replace the integer placeholder, %d with the floating point placeholder, %f. Very foolish mistake...
Thank you for your input, Grumpy, it was very well appreciated.
