The compiler needs to know the type cos its gotta pack ur data into binary the correct way (treating the bits of a float as an int in machine code doesn't work). An interpreted language does this on the fly a compiled language does this at compile time. Hence one of the main reasons compiled languages at so much faster at runtime.
Tldr
int 10110011= 179
float 10110011=-1.1875
The compiler needs to know how u want it to handle the data.
