1261			Suffixed floating constant implicitly converted to different floating type.
	Arithmetic type - Balancing

A constant of type float is being implicitly converted to type double or long double in a balancing operation. Perhaps the constant should be rewritten with a different suffix ? The suffixes for floating constants are: F for float and L for long double; an unsuffixed constant is of type double.
