Why I'm getting output as Yes though 9.58 is not less than 9.58 or Is there anything wrong with this If condition?

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
   float x = 9.58;

   if (x < 9.58)
   {
      std::cout << "Yes" << '\n';
   }

   return (0);
}

try `std::cout << std::setprecision(10) << x << '\n';` – Jul 18 '21 at 16:56
I suggest you print the value of `x`. – Some programmer dude Jul 18 '21 at 16:56

Also remember that in the expression `x < 9.58` the variable `x` is a single precision `float`, while `9.58` is a *double* precision floating point value (in essence a `double` value). – Some programmer dude Jul 18 '21 at 16:57
I don't see an `int` anywhere in this code. (Well, `return (0);`, but that doesn't seem relevant.) – Nathan Pierson Jul 18 '21 at 17:06

`9.58` is a **double**. Maybe you wanted `9.58f` which is a **float**? – Eljay Jul 18 '21 at 17:25
Or maybe `double x`. – anastaciu Jul 18 '21 at 17:37

Incidentally, that is the 100 m world record. – anastaciu Jul 18 '21 at 17:38
