When do we initialize the value of a float to be negative or positive? I recently saw



"float userInput = -1.0;"



but what about



"float userInput = 1.0;"



Are there differences between the two, and when would one be used over the other?



A more detailed example below:



 int main(void)
{
float input = -1;
int z = 0;
int counter = 0;

do

printf("The amount of changed owed(in dollars) is ");
input = get_float();
