When I'm trying to print a division of a long long integer casted to a float, I get different output when trying to:
- use
printf(). - use
std::coutfirst beforeprintf().
I'm using the long long variable as a sum to a 1000 performance timer results and then average them. I could probably do some recursion average splitting. But I'll worry that later.
Anyways, here's what is happening.
If I do this:
long long sum;
while (j < 1000){
sum += time_record[j];
j++;
}
cout << "Average execution time: "<< sum/1000000 << "ms\n";
printf("Average execution time: %f ms\n", (float)sum/1000000);
the output I get is:
Average execution time: 4ms
Average execution time: 4.197688 ms
Now if I try to remove cout, I get this output:
Average execution time: 140736480.000000 ms
What exactly is happening here?
