When I compile my C program, the answers I get as an output are correct (ex. 10.0, 10.0, 10.0), but it does not show the correct digit after the decimal point. It is supposed to be 10.6, 10.4, 10.5 etc. How can I get those digits to show up for the output?? Help appreciated!

#include <stdio> main() { float result; int i,j; i=25; j=10; result = i/j printf("The result is: %f \n" ,result) } note the fractional part is discarded because the two operands were declared as integers, even though result has been declared as a float. To Force the answer to be promoted to a float then a cast can be used: result = (float) i/j; /*gives the result 2.5*/ Hope this is of some use. M

Thank you very much for answering. It works now perfectly. Who would think that such a simple addition of code could change everything.

"Who would think that such a simple addition of code could change everything. " I think that. I put one semi-colon where needed in a multi-thousand line program that was DOA and it worked perfectly after the compile. IR
