Why System.out.print(16.0/5); prints 3.2?

Question

Why is the result of 16.0/5 -> 3.2?

Answer 1

If you want print 16.0/5 use quotation marks.
System.out.println("16.0/5");
And if you want to know why the output is double and not int. It's because you used an operator(+, -, *, /) with an double, so Java used double here. 😉

Answer 2

Hm, because... it is?

Maybe you should ask your maths teacher. ;-)

(Or tell us what you *actually* want to know.)

Answer 3

João Vitor So according to you what should print here.

Answer 4

Stefanoo I think that he want to know why output is double. You explained well.

Answer 5

Yes, i ask because i didn't know that we could calculate double with int (i tought it must be same type). Thanks for the information! 👍
