I was very surprised when I found out my code wasn\'t working so I created a console application to see where the problem lies and I\'ve got even more surprised when I saw t

Answer 1

The division being performed is integer division. Replace

float test = 140 / 1058;

with

float test = 140f / 1058; 

to force floating-point division.

In general, if you have

int x;
int y;

and want to perform floating-point division then you must cast either x or y to a float as in

float f = ((float) x) / y;
