Int division: Why is the result of 1/3 == 0?
(19 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
when i want to get the result of 100/100000..
i got only 0.
Example
int one = 100;
int two = 100000;
int result = one/two;
toast(result); //Result is 0

Hey there "int" data type only stores integer values and not the decimals.
So if you divide 3 with 2 you would get 1 as answer instead of 1.5 .
Int just ignores the decimals .
You need to choose float or double data type for this to work.
Your variable named result must be declared and casted to float data type.
Appreciate the effort and mark this as answer if it helps you.....

Why is it that in the first line sevenTwelfths will evaluate to the expected answer (0.5833), but threeTwentySixths will evaluate to zero? I assumed that since the data type is a double, the operation of dividing 3 by 26 would be a decimal, but it appears as if it does the operation as an integer operation and then coverts that answer to a double and stores it in threeTwentySixths.
double sevenTwelfths = ((double) 7 / 12);
double threeTwentySixths = 3 / 26;
double sevenTwelfths = ((double) 7 / 12);
In First line this called typecasting meaning you are converting your answer in double for example
int sevenTwelfths=((int)7/12));
this mean after dividing 7/12 whatever is the anser convert into int or Type cast into int

Round up when multiplying an integer by 0.5 [duplicate]

Is there a way to automatically round up a value in java?
For example:
//generate a random integer value
int randomVal = RandomHelper.nextIntFromTo(1, otherVal);
/* then divide the integer value in half... the error I am getting is that its a double, probably
because the number generated isn't an even number, but I NEED it to be an integer. Can I round up?*/
int value = randomVal * 0.5;
You can add 1 then divide by 2 instead of multiplying by 0.5. That way, you avoid a floating point operation followed by a conversion to int.
int value = (randomVal + 1) / 2;
Use Math.ceil():
int value = (int)Math.ceil(randomVal * 0.5);

How to cast a double to an int in Java by rounding it down?

Is there any function returns only the real number without the floating point? For an example,
func(1.xxx)->1
func(52.xx)->52
func(0.xx)->0
Is there any function does so?
Simply casting to int would truncate everything past the decimal point.
float f1 = 10.345;
int i1 = (int) f1; // Gives 10
float f2 = 10.897;
int i2 = (int) f2; // Also gives 10
You can do :
double d = 100.675;
System.out.println((int) d);
this gives you 100.
System.out.println(Math.round(d));
gives you 101.
You can also use :
new java.text.DecimalFormat("#").format(10.0); // => "10"
now the choice is yours that how you want to do and main thing depend on that what is your expected output is.

Why does Java return a 0 when I divide 10/60?
the code I tried is
double pay_per_minute = (10/60);
10 being the pay rate per hour and 60 being the minutes.
Because you're building an integer. When you store it in a double variable, it's already too late : it's 0.
Do
double pay_per_minute = (10.0/60);
If you have variables, cast them :
double pay_per_minute = ((double)pay_per_hour) / 60;
any primitive digit in java is treated as an integer, so when you do 10/60, it is integer division and due to precision loss it is giving 0
Here 10 and 60 takes as int values and then you get int dividing result it is 0 then you get answer as 0. use following way.
double a=10;
double b=60;
double div=a/b;
you need to type cast it first because by default numericals are considered as integers
double pay_per_minute = ((double)10/60);
System.out.println(pay_per_minute);
output 0.16666666666666666
double pay_per_minute = (10/60);
Here, you are dividing integer 10 by integer 60. So, this is like doing
int temp = 10/60;
double pay_per_minute = double(temp)
your temp will be 0 (since 10/60 is 0 when considered as integer division)
You need to do,
double pay_per_minute = (10.0/60);

Why this equation returns zero even though it should not? [duplicate]

Int division: Why is the result of 1/3 == 0?

So, I'm doing a fighting game in java and I have this equation that always returns zero.
int x = 90/100*300;
It should be 270 but it returns zero. :|
You're doing integer calculation, so 90/100 results in 0.
If you write it 90.0/100*300, the calculations will be done with doubles (then you'll need to cast it back to int if you want).
The problem here is it first divides 90/100 which is actually 0.9 however since it is an int type the value is 0 and then when you multiply 0 with 300 the output is 0.
90/100 is 0 remainder 90.
You can fix this by re-arranging the values
int x = 90 * 300 / 100; // 270
Do the multiplications before the divisions and as long as you don't get an overflow, this will be more accurate.
Java in this case carries out the multiplication/division in order.
It also interpretes each number as integers.
So, 90/100 = 0.9 and it gets truncated to 0.
and 0 * 300 = 0.
So you end up with 0
You use integer datatype you use float or double datatype and get proper answer of this equation. Integer datatype only decimal value answer return but float and double datatype return answer with floating point then must use float or double datatype in this equation.
I guess you want like this equation, try this
int x = (90/100)*300;
