    How to print division in linux?

    Uhm if anyone saw my previous question, then they would have a better idea of what am i asking here, but i think it should be fine.. i can't seem to print out or cout a hit/miss on the screen, n though i have view the man printf but i still have no idea how to implement it...
    so how can i print something like for
    int hit, miss;

    printf(The hit/miss ratio is:",hit/miss)?? this won't work...
    can anyone please help me here?

    Well, for one, you're missing the starting " but maybe that's just a typo here.
    What exactly is the output you get?

    Was that your actual code? In that case you forgot %d

    Code:
    printf("The hit/miss ratio is: %d",hit/miss)

    This might also be a rounding problem.
    Code:
    printf("The hit/miss ratio is: %f",((float)hit)/miss);
    All the buzzt!
