Assinging values to type float

[Douglas M. MacFarlane]

Excuse the novice question . . .
 
I'm new to C and liking it, but this puzzles me.  I'm using Microsoft
C ver 5.1.   When I assign a value to a float variable, I get a data-
conversion warning (with warning level 2 set).  Why?
 
For example:
 
float fValue ;     /* define fValue as a floating point variable  */
 
other lines
 
fValue = 35 ;     /* produces a Data Conversion warning at compile time */
 
 
Whasss Happening ????
