only value of dictionary gets written into the variable

Question

foreach(KeyValuePair<string, int> kvp in coffee)
{
//it ignores all operations and only writes kvp.Value into discounted
discounted = kvp.Value*(1-(discount/100));
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", kvp.Key, discounted);
}

as the comment in the foreach loop says; for some reason all arithmetic operations get completely ignored and only the value gets written into discounted. i also tried first writing the value only and then calculate the discounted price, but this still did nothing.
also tried Convert.ToInt32 on the value... still nothing.

so what am i missing?

Answer 1

What is <discount>?
If it is an integer, and it is less than 100, then dividing <discount> with 100 will give you a zero, because integer division doesn't care about fractional parts.

That is probably why 1 - ( discount / 100 ) has no effect. You pretty much were doing 1 - 0 there ...

Answer 2

Can I see all your code
