Thread: Average of integers with 2 accurate decimals

Hello,

Thank you for looking at my issue.

I am wondering why my decimals are always .00 even if they are supposed to be .50 or something etc. Next is the code and a screenshot of the program in action.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>


main()
{
    int first_number, second_number;
    float average;


    printf("Enter the first number:");
    scanf("%d", &first_number);


    printf("Enter the second number: ");
    scanf("%d", &second_number);


    average = ( first_number + second_number ) / 2;


    printf("\naverage is %.2f", average);


    return 0;
    }
