precision type, which cannot represent the integer 16777217 exactly, while a 32-bit integer type can. This can lead to unintuitive behavior, as demonstrated by the following code:

#include

int main(void) { int my_int = 16777217; float my_float = 16777216.0; printf("The integer is: %d\n", my_int); printf("The float is: %f\n", my_float); printf("Their equality: %d\n", my_int == my_float);}

On compilers that implement floats as IEEE single
