### Assigning an IBinaryCodedDecimal to a Float

To convert an IBinaryCodedDecimal object to a floating-point type:

    #include <idecimal.hpp>
    #include <iostream.h>

    int main(void) {
       IBinaryCodedDecimal dec_1("123.45");
       IBinaryCodedDecimal dec_2("-123456.12345");

       float f1,f2;

       f1=dec_1;
       f2=dec_2;

       cout <<"f1=" <<f1 <<endl <<"f2=" <<f2 <<endl <<endl;
       }

The representation of a floating point number will not exactly match the value of the IBinaryCodedDecimal object being converted.
