On 6.2.3/115 of "Accelerate d C++", there's this function:
double average(const vector<double>& v)
{
return accumulate(v.be gin(), v.end(), 0.0) / v.size();
}
The author notes that it's important to use 0.0 in the function, as
accumulate uses the third argument's type as its return type.
Wouldn't it be better to explicity say
return accumulate(v.be gin(), v.end(), double(0)) / v.size();
Is there a chance that floats and doubles might get mixed up if you don't do
a cast?
Thanks,

0.0 is double but double(0) is int casted to double..
furthermore, 0.0f is float..
But actually all are same..
compiler might generate same code, I suppose. :)

The effect is exactly the same, because floating-point literals have type
double if you don't explicitly say otherwise. In other words, 0.0 has type
double, as does double(0), and 0.0f has type float. See page 303.

Doubles are different than floats, as far as I know.
I wasn't sure that 0.0 would automatically be a double. "Joe Laughlin" <Jo************ ***@boeing.com> wrote in message news:I5******** @news.boeing.co m... On 6.2.3/115 of "Accelerate d C++", there's this function:
