To fix the problem, we need to ensure that the type of the left-hand side of the compound assignment statement is at least as wide as the type of the right-hand side. In this case, we should change the type of millisecondCounter from long to float to match the type of time. This will prevent the implicit narrowing conversion and preserve the precision of the accumulated time.

  • Change the type of totalTime from long to float in the Timer class.
  • Update the initialization of totalTime in the constructor to match the new type.
