why is this 12.0 instead of 12.5, i did the math on calc comes out to 12.5

Question

int x, y;
double z;
x = 5;
y = x * 2;
z = x/2 + y;
System.out.print(z);

Answer 1

There fore, to get the required result, your variable x should also be a double, and not int

Answer 2

x is an integer.
When you do x/2 the output is 2, (as opposed to 2.5) because the integer cannot store decimal values.

Answer 3
