how this code prints 0

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
float area;
float a=5;
float b=10;
area=(1/2)*a*b;
cout <<area;
}

Answer 1

Maybe write 0.5 than 1/2?

Answer 2

1/2 are integers, so the result is 0.

So you wrote: 0*a*b.

Change the beginning to (1.0/2)!

Answer 3

Or that.
