Thread: problem with c=(f-32)*(5/9)

hello, my code works if it is written like i have posted it.
But when i put two brackets at the red line ( c=(f-32)*(5/9); ) my c variable is always 0,000 .
Why is that so ?

Code:

int

Code:

main()

{
float f,c;
printf("give temp at Fahrenheit: \n\n");
scanf("%f",&f);
c=(f-32)*5/9;
printf("the temperature in celsius is: %f \n\n",c);
return 0;
}

Actually I think I'd prefer (f - 32) * 5.0 / 9

Personally, I'd prefer (f - 32) * 5.f / 9

It's even more hip

Personally I try to write everything out all the time.

c = (f - 32.0f) / 1.8f;

Ok.! my problem was just hilarious! thank you very much!!! 8-)
