    Post Behaviour of shortcut assignment and normal assignment for float

    I have a simple doubt
    float k = 0;        
    k+=0.2;     
    k=k+0.2; // here compliation error

    compliation error Type mismatch: cannot convert from double to float

    My question is why not a complilation error at k+=0.2;
