this is simply a float-to-double conversion. If you don't want to lose the precision, you'll need to declare the variable as a double in the first place.

somewhere in your code you have a line 

float dvalue;

if you are able to promote to type double you should consider changing the declaration to:

double dvalue;

here is a previous question on loss of precision in conversions.

Precision loss from float to double, and from double to float?
