printing the value of float in c code example

Example 1: c printf float value

I want to print a float value which has 2 integer digits and 6 decimal digits after the comma. If I just use printf("%f", myFloat) I'm getting a truncated value.

I don't know if this always happens in C, or it's just because I'm using C for microcontrollers (CCS to be exact), but at the reference it tells that %f get just that: a truncated float.

If my float is 44.556677, I'm printing out "44.55", only the first two decimal digits.

Example 2: what is float in c

float: It is used to store decimal numbers (numbers with floating point value) with single precision. double: It is used to store decimal numbers (numbers with floating point value) with double precision.
