there is a small correction in above example.

a= 1.11
b=222 ( decimal point is not displayed)

Answer / abhinav nimje
Here as 9v99 takes 3 bytes which is preferrable for memory
management purpose.
So while Processing it wont display decimal point but
working will not be hampered.
9.99 will be used for displaying purpose only.

Answer / ajay kumar
pic 99.9 will allocate memory size to the '.' also
but in order to save memory, 99v9 is used wherever possible.
'v' is cosidered as assumed decimal, which is used for calculation by program internally.
