why xy = 0.0 ?

Question

public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
int x = 1, y = 2;
double xy = x / y;
System.out.println(xy);
}
}

Answer 1

Because you're dividing integer by integer and after that you are storing the result into xy (1/2=0 ==> xy=0=0.0)(declaring the variable xy doesn't change the data types of x and y).
to fix that, you should change x or y to double.

Answer 2

Fix:

double xy = (double) x / y;

Answer 3

So,if i devide an integer by an integer,the answer will also be integer?

Answer 4

yes.
in the code above you have stored an integer result to a double variable.

Answer 5

However, if you divide integer by double or double by double the result will be double.

thank you,Nabeeh.
