Floating Point Issues - Programming

Q1:

What will be the output of the program? 
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    float a=0.7;
    if(a < 0.7f)
        printf("C\n");
    else
        printf("C++\n");
    return 0;
}

A C

B C++

C Compiler error

D Non of above

ANS:B - C++

if(a < 0.7f) here a is a float variable and 0.7f is a float constant. The float variable a is not less than 0.7f float constant. But both are equal. Hence the if condition is failed and it goes to else it prints 'C++'
Example: 
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    float a=0.7;
    printf("%.10f %.10f\n",0.7f, a);
    return 0;
}
Output:
0.6999999881 0.6999999881
