I really so confused why does. (float num = 50/100;) (cout<< num <<endl;) output 0 instead 0.5; why?

Question

float num = 50 / 100;
cout<< num <<endl; // output 0 instead 0.5

Answer 1

Right hand side 50 and 100 both are int type values so int/int result int type only.. Take as fractional (float Or double type) number , atleast one of those two, then see result. hope it helps....

edit:
below all
50.0/100
50/100.0
50.0/100.0
output : 0.5

Answer 2

I understand it very well thank to

You have assigned float to num not float to (50 / 100)

both are integer and divide with higher integer value will give 0

Answer 4

Stefan Corneteanu like how? F at the end of it or with explicit conversation. show us.

Answer 5

Wow; thank you very much Stefan Corneteanu

Answer 6

Either turn one of the numbers to float by adding .0 or F at the end of it, or with explicit conversion

Answer 7

IbrahimCPS
50 is an int
50F or 50f is a float
(float)50 is explicit type conversion of integer 50 to a float
