warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'unsigned int' to 'float', possible loss of data
Shouldn’t a float be able to handle any value from an int?
unsigned int: 0 to 4,294,967,295
float 3.4E +/- 38 (7 digits)
Wiki:
The advantage of floating-point representation over fixed-point (andinteger) representation is that it can
support a much wider range of values.
Any insight would be helpful, thanks.

‘unsigned int’ and ‘float’ both use 32 bits to store values. Since a float has a larger range, it necessarily sacrifices some precision. This means that there are some unsigned int values that cannot be accurately represented in a float. MSDN provides some more details.
