Why do I have the wrong result for a simple double calculation?

I calculated 2000/4000 and get 0. https://code.sololearn.com/cChdU45Yrso1/?ref=app

You divide 2 ints, store them as double

The program is doing integer division and then storing the result into a double precision float. It is doing integer division because both operands are integer. If you make either one into floating point then the result will be kept in floating point.

1337element did you mean 2000 / 4000 = 0 or 4000 / 2000 = 2

1337element result is fine as a double as 2.0 if 4000/2000 the int/int later simply left it as int 2
