No automatic int -> float conversion?

I am using kdb 2.7.
The table goes like t:( a:float$();b:int$())

Now if I try to do `t insert (a:12;b:11) this fails but a:12.0 works. This is kind of painful for me. Is there a way to have automatic int to float conversion?

You don’t need the assignment on the right hand side – just the list that defines the row:<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

`t insert (12f;11)<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Note the f which makes 12 a float. <o:p></o:p>
