How to make the division of 2 ints produce a float instead of another int?

Question

In another Bruce Eckels exercise in calculating velocity, v = s / t where s and t are integers. How do I make it so the division cranks out a float?

Answer 1

Try this:

class CalcV 
{
      float v;
      float calcV(int s, int t)
      {
          float value1=s;
          float value2=t;
          v = value1 / value2;
          return v;
      } //end calcV
}
