Why does this code give me an error code because of possibly lossy conversion and this one doesnt?

This one works: import java.util.Scanner; public class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); int amount = scanner.nextInt(); //your code goes here int x = 0; int newAmount = amount; while (x < 3){ newAmount = newAmount - newAmount / 10; x++; } System.out.println(newAmount); } } But this one doesnt: import java.util.Scanner; public class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); int amount = scanner.nextInt(); //your code goes here int x = 0; int newAmount = amount; while (x < 3){ newAmount = newAmount - newAmount * 0.1; x++; } System.out.println(newAmount); } }

By multiplying with 0.1 the result becomes double. However, newAmount is defined as integer. Therefore the error.

At first glance, looks to be because you're using a double in the second one when it's of int type. Just convert it and it should work fine.
