force float

[chris200x9]

hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me what's wrong with this statement.

digit = (num/ pow( float base, numDigits - num);

If you're trying to convert base to a float, your syntax is incorrect. And you're missing a matching parentheses. Try:

digit = (num/ pow( (float) base, numDigits - num));

After fixing the bugs, can you explain why you are throwing away most of the available precision?
