In this compliant solution, the decimal error in initialization is eliminated by ensuring that at least one of the operands to the division operation is floating point.:

short a = 533;
int b = 6789;
long c = 466438237;

float d = a / 7.0f; /* d is 76.14286 */
double e = b / 30.; /* e is 226.3 */
double f = (double)c * 789; /* f is 368019768993.0 */

...

In this compliant solution, the decimal error in initialization is eliminated by first storing the integer in the floating-point variable and then performing the arithmetic operation. This practice ensures that at least one of the operands is a floating-point number and that the subsequent arithmetic operation is performed on floating-point operands.
