Cannot implicitly convert type ‘double’ to ‘float’ with Math.Pow()

by

Your variables are float, but the method Math.Pow returns a double. Hence you need explicit conversion to be performed on the result of the method.

presentValue = futureValue / (float)Math.Pow(1 + rate, years);

Note: Math.Pow also takes double as parameters, but still it works. That’s because implicit conversion is taking place. Because double can represent every possible value of a float but reverse isn’t true.
