mikroc 8.0 float array problems

[zia]

hi friends
i have faced a strange problem in mikroc compiler.
const float a[]={1.2,2.8,5.1};
char i=1;
then a should equals to 1.2 but not
if replace float with int i-e const int a[]={1,7,9};
then a gives value 7.
but in the case of float why not getting exact value.
may you explain?

index 0 is the first position, index 1 is the second position.

Try

const float a[]={1.2,2.8,5.1};
unsigned int i=1;

then a now should be 2.8, because i=1 not 0

sorry writing mistake in post ,yes you are right but i am getting zero. but if declares float by int , it works fine.

Sorry, how do you check de value?
If you are using a printf, make sure you are formatting "%f".
