in java , Integer/Integer gives an integer value only so here , y/x = Integer/Integer //here, decimal part gets chopped without any rounding off m1)take value of y&x as double only //u can give integer value also , bcz implicit type conversion don't need any typecasting & int value will get directly converted to a double value m2)double divd=(double)y/x; //typecasting int type to double type 😃

Just a simple change required. double divd = (double)y/x.

When integers are divided, integer division takes place. Already after this, before assigning the resulting integer value, it is converted to double. Compare: double divd=(double)y/x;
