+ 9
In terms of basic arithmetic... 9 divided by 2 is 4.5. 7 divided by 2 is 3.5. By doing 9/2 in C++, the program treats both values as integer and hence returns an integer value of 4. If you want to get 4.5, do 9.0/2.0. If you want to get 3.5, do 7.0/2.0. You may also look into float, double type variables, or read up on the usage of static_cast.
