Problem about expression

Dear all,


I assign "0.2" to tmax. But the assigned value is "0." actually.
As shown in the complete expression, "0.2" is divided into "0." and "2".

If the first blank line is deleted, the assigned value is "0.2" which is
correct.
It seems that Mathematica did something automatically.
How to get rid of this trouble?


In[1]:=
tmax=0.2;
tmax
Quit[]

Out[2]:=
0.


The complete expression is as following:


Cell[BoxData[{
    RowBox[{"\[IndentingNewLine]",
      StyleBox[
        RowBox[{
          RowBox[{"tmax", "=",
            RowBox[{"0.", "2"}]}], ";"}],
        Background->None]}], "\[IndentingNewLine]", "tmax",
"\[IndentingNewLine]",
    RowBox[{"Quit", "[", "]"}]}], "Input",
  CellLabel->"In[1]:=",
  CellFrame->{{0, 0}, {0.5, 0}}]


Any help welcome.

Thanks,
Bamboo
