5/2 = 2

Question

x=5
y=2

#Division
puts x/y
#outputs 2

How come it could be "2"?

Answer 1

i did a lil test and changed x=5 to x=5.0 and that worked.

Answer 2

What do you mean you can't test it yourself?

Answer 3

idk ruby but can you turn it into a float? Im guessing it drops the decimal.

Answer 4

Thx a lot!

Answer 5

You are dividing two ints and the result will be... another int. If you use floats then the result will be another float and won't get truncated.
