CGFloat Incompatible types in initialization

Question

Anyone see the issue here?

double latDouble = [latString doubleValue];
double lngDouble = [lngString doubleValue];

CGFloat dist = [self calcDiffDistance:latDouble withPostLng:lngDouble]; // Incompatible types in initialization

- (float)calcDiffDistance:(double)postLat withPostLng:(double)lon1
{
    ...
}

Answer 1

The typedef for CGFloat is double on a 64-bit system, and float on a 32-bit system. My guess is you're compiling on a 64-bit system, and are assigning a float return value to a double variable.
