Scanning a value with decimal point

SystemVerilog

I was trying to read values from a file using command

r=$sscanf(line,“%s %f”,fruit,number);

let the file be

apple 5.2
orange 6.1

when i use the following command
$display(" apple = %f",number);

I’m getting
apple = 5.000000
when I’m expecting
apple = 5.2

Can anyone please help me?

In reply to Adarsh Santhosh:

Why do you expect the fractional part of a real number to be stored in a integral variable?
