For me that warnings can be avoided by changing the data type of the float to a double. If you more question try to post the your code for further evaluation of other member biggrin.gif

Floating point constants are double by default. If you do something like this float num=3.4;
you will encounter this warning as 3.4 is double by default and you are trying to assign it to float which will cause data loss.

Solution:

1) Either change the type to double as said by eXceed69 or
2) Do this float num=3.4f;
