Error in IF function regarding comparison with decimal value

Hello everyone, my question arises from the following error:
float pp=0.7; if(pp==0.7){ qDebug()<<"Correcto"; }else{ qDebug()<<"Incorrecto"; }The error is that the compilation throws me "Incorrect" even though the condition is true, making me think that the float value was not saved properly, is there any solution for this?

pp(= 0.7) and your hard coded float 0.7 could be different when using==for comparison, better useqFuzzyCompare(float, float)instead
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtglobal.html#qFuzzyCompare-1It should work then... If not, I don't know what's going on there :)

You may want to think of comparing float point numbers using some tolerance value (i.e. epsilon).

Float or Double values are not precise, they are splitted in to fraction and exponent (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic).
if you want to compare if float or double values are equal, you have to take care about value "imprecisions".The best/easiest way is to use
qFuzzyCompare()(cf https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtglobal.html#qFuzzyCompare) -

if(pp==0.7){
You compare a float with a double here. So 0.7f != 0.7 as @KroMignon and @Pablo-J-Rogina properly explained
This will evaluate to true
if (p == 0.7f) {
But even then it will not work when you do calculations before.

Up-voted your answer despite spending minutes unable to find any
pvariable in any of the code posted. What is it with people's typing accuracy today...! :( -

Please blame my keyboard and not me. My 'p' key don't work well but I don't know why. Even with this knowledge I sometimes miss the 'p' somewhere. Go through my latest posts and I'm sure you will find much more missing 'p's :)
