Thread: Whats wrong ??

x = 2/4;
printf("%f", x);


Output:
0.00000

How can 2/4 result is 0.000 ?? How can i make the output so that it is 0.5

I'm assuming X is declared to be an integer, right? The result of 2/4 is 0.5, but as X is in integer, it will simply truncate the result. Instead of .5 you see 0. Simply change X to a float. Also, if you only want it to display 1 or 2 decimal points, make sure you print it by using %.2f, x

An integer divided by an integer gives an integer.
Use:

Code:

x = (float) 2 / (float) 4;
// OR
x = 2.0 / 4.0;
