What will be the output of the program? #include int main() { float a=0.7; if(a < 0.7f) printf("C\n"); else printf("C++\n"); return 0; }

Correct Answer: C++

Explanation:

if(a < 0.7f) here a is a float variable and 0.7f is a float constant. The float variable a is not less than 0.7f float constant. But both are equal. Hence the if condition is failed and it goes to else it prints 'C++'
Example:


#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    float a=0.7;
    printf("%.10f %.10f\n",0.7f, a);
    return 0;
}

Output:
0.6999999881 0.6999999881
