A float variable or data member requires a floating point value,

or something that may be promoted to a float, such as an int. In Java, a
literal floating-point value, such as 1.0, is actually stored as a
double, not a float, and can not be implicitly converted to a float.
For example, the following declaration will not compile:

float length = 1.0;

However, the following will compile, using an appending 'f' to convert
1.0 to a float:

float length = 1.0f;

There are 10 errors of this type.
