I have this:
double result = 60 / 23;
In my program, the result is 2, but correct is 2,608695652173913. Where is problem?
C programming language is a machine-independent programming language that is mainly used to create many types of applications and operating systems such as Windows, and other complicated programs such as the Oracle database, Git, Python interpreter, and games and is considered a programming foundation in the process of ...
In the real sense it has no meaning or full form. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T bell Lab. First, they used to call it as B language then later they made some improvement into it and renamed it as C and its superscript as C++ which was invented by Dr.
Quote from wikipedia: "A successor to the programming language B, C was originally developed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie between 1972 and 1973 to construct utilities running on Unix." The creators want that everyone "see" his language. So he named it "C".
60 and 23 are integer literals so you are doing integer division and then assigning to a double. The result of the integer division is 2.
Try
double result = 60.0 / 23.0;
Or equivalently
double result = 60d / 23d;
Where the d suffix informs the complier that you meant to write a double literal.
