int division to float

This should be a fairly easy question.

I have two int variables I need to divide to get a float.

Code:

---

int a=6;
int b=4;
float c=a/b;

---

This code keeps giving me 1, and I need 1.5.

Code:

---

int a=6;
int b=4;
float c=float(a)/float(b);

---

nifty

thanks

Technically, it's sufficient to cast one side to float, e.g.:

Code:

---

float c=float(a)/b;

---

The rules in C and C++ is that if one side is floating point, the other side is converted to float by default.

Indeed. Do people not buy C++ books anymore?
