Basicallly i'm doing a conversion to meters per second
double mps=(1000/3282)*(5280/230)
the answer should be 7.2 meters per second but the output displays it as 0.00000000000 meters per second.
What is wrong here? Does the program not recognize numbers that are less than one?
also when i printf it i use %lf. So that should take care of a potential error.
You're doing division with integers, so the answer is truncated to an integer value. Make at least one value in each division expression a float/double to get the correct result.
Code:double mps=(1000/3282.0)*(5280/230.0);
Wow i'm so stupid haha.
thank you matticus
You're welcome. It's an easy mistake to make. You're not stupid, especially if you've gained a little more experience from this.
Definitely!
