Try the following program:
#include
int main(void)
{
float currConvf = 60342935.0;
printf("%f\n", currConvf);
}
And you will see that you get 60342936.0.
The number of bits needed to represent 60342935 is one

oh, one more thing, GCC does not control atof at all.

60342935.0 cannot be represented exactly in a float so this is still exacted.

This is called float not having enough precession. This is not a bug.
Please
read what floating point is.

The full testcase looks like:

#include
int main(void)
{
char currConv[9];
