This is a perfectly legitimate _warning_.  It is a warning, after all, not
an error.  gcc is warning you that you are doing something which looks
suspicious and has a correspondent loss of significance.

I suspect you're mistaken.  Try 

    auks = (int) (19.99 + 11.99).

This means, "add 19.99 and 11.99 (both doubles).  Then, after you've
computing the result, cast it to an int.  Then assign it to `auks', which
is a variable of type int."
