@Ankit: Yes. The bug is that the constant in the comparison should
have been written 11.202e0.

@Rajeevpodar: Float comparisons are fine, if you do them correctly. In
this case, using 11.202e0 instead of 11.202 is correct. And, of
course, your comparison is not an one-sided inequality test, but a
fuzzy equality test.

@Ankit: The variable a is a float, while the constant 11.202 is a
double. When the constant 11.202 was rounded to size float in the
assignment, it was (apparently) rounded down. For purposes of the
comparison, a was cast to type double, and the added bits were filled
with zeros. So (double)a compar
