Why does 7 / 2 print 3?
Short answer. Both values are int, so the decimal part is dropped.
How do you keep the decimal?
Make one value a double, like 7 / 2.0.
Types decide the answer
| Code | Type | Prints |
|---|---|---|
| 7 / 2 | int | 3 |
| 7 / 2.0 | double | 3.5 |
| 7 % 2 | int | 1 |
Remember
| int / int drops the decimal |
| Use a double to keep it |
| % gives the remainder |
Seven by two prints three in Java. Why? The types decide the result. Int by int drops the decimal. One double keeps it. Percent gives the remainder. Int by int drops decimals. Double keeps them. Percent gives remainders.
