C++ computation not working

Hi, I'm new to this forum and i'm looking for a bit of help specifically with one line out of 3255.

Code:

---

Rf = 0.027*(pow(E,(1/3)));

---

this always returns 0.027 no matter what the value of E is there a way round this or have i done something wrong? :confused:

The problem is that 1/3 is interpreted as integer arithmetic by your compiler. 1/3 with integers is 0 and anything raised to the power of 0 is 1. So basically, your code says:

Code:

---

Rf = 0.027*1

---

To tell the compiler you want floating points, use 1.0 and 3.0 or cast the values.

I suspect it's 1/3 returning an integer value of zero. Try 1.0/3.0 .

EDIT - ...Looks like Kenki beat me to it.

thanks
