Question

I would like to know if anybody knew what a . after an integer in C means.

i have this piece of code i want to convert and that is the only thing i am not sure of what it does.

if (y>=0.)
what does the . here do?

full code:

double angleOf(double x, double y) {

  double  dist=sqrt(x*x+y*y) ;

  if (y>=0.) return acos( x/dist);
  else       return acos(-x/dist)+.5*CIRCLE_RADIANS; }

Answer 1

It’s same as 0.0, it will treat it as double instead of an integer, so you don’t need to cast it.
