[There's not] an Error in tutorial question!

Question

What is the output of this code?
a = 25
b = 8
x = a/b
puts x+b

Value a should be 24.

the answer is 11 .

Just saying!! :)

Answer 1

You're dealing with an integer, or whole number, so there's no decimal points, which is why the equation (X = 25 ÷ 8) works.

25 ÷ 8 = 3.125, but since no decimals are allowed, it becomes 3.

Now it's X+B, and X = 3, and B = 8

So X+B is 3 + 8 which equals 11.

Answer 2

no, it is ok, these numbers are integers so 25 / 8 is also 3 like 24 / 3 is 3...

Answer 3

its no error buddy . its simple division ( the one we did in lower classes without any decimal ).
but its good that u clarified it. 😀😀😀

Answer 4

25/8=3.125
I assume that you are using int so the .125 is ‘thrown’ away. And 3 + 8 = 11

Answer 5

Oh god.

Good to clear that up- we're dealing with integers.... OK then (rewind!!!) :)

Answer 6

Oh I see what happend. You did the division but multiplied instead of adding the 8.

Answer 7

I ask...why you use 24 in this code
