Is there any compiler that has a directive or a parameter to cast integer calculation to float implicitly. For example:
float f = (1/3)*5;
cout << f;
the “f” is “0”, because calculation’s constants(1, 3, 10) are integer. I want to convert integer calculation with a compiler directive or parameter. I mean, I won’t use explicit casting or “.f” prefix like that:
float f = ((float)1/3)*5;
or
float f = (1.0f/3.0f)*5.0f;
Do you know any c/c++ compiler which has any parameter to do this process without explicit casting or “.f” thing?
If you don’t like either of the two methods you mentioned, you’re probably out of luck.
What are you hoping to accomplish with this? Any specialized operator that did “float-division” would have to convert ints to floats at some point after tokenization, which means you’re not going to get any performance benefit on the execution.
