If these numbers are stored in variables, the variables must be declared with "float" or "double", since "int" data type cannot assign decimal of fractional values to variables

so in place of int a=16.6 , we have to write float a=16.6

In order to circumvent such problems in the future, pls read the compilation warnings the compiler produces or if your compiler didn't output any, try to use compiler switches that enable a stricter code checking. This could have been prevented by resolving warnings generated by stricter checks.

if int variables are defined then 16<16 should be falsely read such that user may think it's being read like 16.6<16.5. C++ is very flexible and doesn't produce error easily. that's why it's sometimes difficult to detect the cause of logical error.
