atof - C++ Reference

A float is not precies. if you do 10.0f/3.0f*3.0f = 9.9999999999999f
But a float is smaller, so a double is bigger. (in memory usage)

Type double is a floating type that is larger than or equal to type float, but shorter than or equal to the size of type long double.

use either sprintf or atof
only offset appears with FSTP command are float (for example shotgun spread isnt float)
