Question

I am having a very odd result in my Android program when adding two numbers. It is the test code I am using to find out what is going out:

private static final float yChannel[] = {12.0f, 8.0f, 4.0f, 0};

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Log.i("Rectangles","y1: " + yChannel[0]+2.0f);
    Log.i("Rectangles","y2: " + yChannel[0]);
}

The LogCat result is:

y1: 12.02.0
y2: 12

I simply don’t understand all the variables are float. My code is not working because it is not giving the correct result. I also tried cleaning Eclipse project.

Answer 1

"Rectangles","y1: " + yChannel[0]+2.0f

is string concatenation, as the first operand is the string.

try this

Log.i("Rectangles","y1: " + (yChannel[0]+2.0f));

or

float temp = yChannel[0]+2.0f;
    Log.i("Rectangles","y1: " + temp);
