simple calculation not working for some reason

Question

Alright, I\'m trying to calculate the percentage of two values. This should be really simple but for some weird reason it\'s not working. I\'m too tired/dumb to figure it ou

Answer 1

Indeed, simple error, when doing diversions with int, the answer will be an int. Your answer would be between 0 and 1 so rounded down it is 0 (int).

Use:

int returnvalue = (int)((FilesCompleted / (double)TotalFilesCount) * 100);

To make your calculation use a double for the fractional number and then multiply that by 100 and cast that to an int.
