In following code:
float x = 0.23;
int z;
z = x;
if (x)
printf("float %f will not be converted to 0!\n", x);
if (z)
printf("this will not print!\n");
I thought that floating point number will be converted to integer and then checked if it is zero when used in if statement. Can someone please explain to me, why that is not the case?
edit:
(just to clarify what has been confusing me)
Since logical operators like < return int, I thought that if statement receives
integer value so conversion needs to be done. As pointed out by answers, it doesn't. Thank you everyone!
