Java

why my radius is getting red flagged although i am converting it from float to double

// i cannot understand why float data type can't be used for radius public class Area { public static void main(String args[]) { // This program calculates area of circle with help of double data type double area; // area needs to be accurate hence using double float radius; // radius also needs to be accurate but not as much as area hence using float radius=7.869; area=3.14*radius*radius; System.out.println(area); }
