CCS C double variable

[temtronic]

hmm..curious .HOW did you display the result ?
The printf() may have reformatted the actual result into 'readable' format ?
Maybe a compiler 'bug' that converts 'double' into 'float' ?
Maybe it's the first day of Spring ?

What he has is a compiler bug. It was documented here a few versions
ago. It is very interesting that using double made it work, but he is not
actually using double, what is happening is that this keyword just happens
to be fixing a bug with the compiler!.....
Get a replacement for the compiler. CCS will supply you a fixed version.
Won't fix your speed issue, but at least will get rid of the confusion.

The one that will genuinely give you the right value, is int32, and this will
be enormously faster. What is posted here will be very inefficient, since
each integer has to be converted to float, then added. Much faster to
do the additions, and then convert the answer to float for the division.
This is an example of how important understanding the implications of
type on speed is.
