simple question about double

Hello,

Why wont the following code assign 0.5 to variable (double type):

Code:

---

unsigned int num = 1;
double d = num/2;

---

Thanks for help!

You're dividing integers, so the result will be an integer.

1 and 2 are integer literals. 1.0 and 2.0 are double literals.

As long as one of the two operands is a double, the result will be a double, so the solution is to use 2.0 instead of 2.

Thanks for explanation!
