Float from multiplication of doubles

In Java, from what I have experienced, the multiplication of doubles, will always result in a double. However, in Swift, multiplication of Doubles can result in floats, atleast in the provided quiz. Is this normal for most programming languages? And should you always encapsulate the resulting value in a double(ie: "Double(doMathHere)") before returning?
