Thread: Basic typecasting

I'm a bit stumped in trying to cast a very basic int division to a long result and the irony is that I've managed to use typecasting from float to long with complex equations. I just can't seen what's wrong with this...

Code:

int main(){

        int initVol = 40;
        int intIndex;
        long longIndex;

        intIndex = initVol / 100;
        printf("int index = %d, ");
        longIndex = (long) ( initVol / 100 );
        printf("long index = %d.\n");

        return 0;
}

Both intIndex and longIndex give the wrong answer. But why? I would have expected intIndex to be correct at the very least.

Flipping heck, could I be so dumb! I've just figured it out. Never mind folks. Just point and quietly chuckle.

No need to. You've made a very common mistake, put some effort to find it, finally found it. Everything's fine. Plus I bet this will never happen to you again. Time for some backslapping.
