If I multiply a float and and integer like below, why does all multiplications lead to a differnt result? My expectation was a consistent result. I thought in both cases the int value gets implicitly converted to a float before multiplication. But there seems to be a difference. What is the reason for this differnt handling?
int multiply(float val, int multiplier)
{
return val * multiplier;
}
int multiply2(float val, int multiplier)
{
return float(val * multiplier);
}
float val = 1.3f;
int result0 = val * int(10); // 12
int result1 = 1.3f * int(10); // 13
int result3 = multiply(1.3f, 10); //12
int result4 = multiply2(1.3f, 10); // 13
