P.S. The promotion doesn't only apply to literals but to other expressions too. So your second casting example is unnecessary as well. Compile this with -Wall -Werror to see that is is perfectly valid C: #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { float x = 2.5; int y = 5; x += y; printf("%f\n", x); // prints "7.500000" return 0; } --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
