"Possible loss of precision" in my Java program
<p>I'm new to Java. I wrote the following code:</p>

<pre><code>import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;

public class distravel
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String a1,a2,a3;
        int x=2;
        float d,u,a,t;
         //d=distance travelled,u=initial velocity,a=acceleration,t=timeinterval

        try
        {
            InputStreamReader read=new InputStreamReader(System.in);
            BufferedReader buff=new BufferedReader(read);

            System.out.print("Enter the INTIAL VELOCITY:");
            a1=buff.readLine();
            u=Float.parseFloat(a1);
            System.out.print("Enter the ACCELERATION:");
            a2=buff.readLine();
            a=Float.parseFloat(a2);
            System.out.print("Enter the TIME:");
            a3=buff.readLine();
            t=Float.parseFloat(a3);

            d=((u*t)+a*Math.pow(t,x))/2F;

            System.out.print("The total DISTANCE TRAVELLED:"+d);
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {}
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>I get this error:</p>

<pre>
distravel.java28:possible loss of precision
                                   found           :double
                                   required        :float
                                   d=((u*t)+a*Math.pow(t,x))/2F;
                                                            ^
</pre>

<p>How can I resolve this?</p>
