Why result output is integer even result is defined as float?

Question

#include

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv){
        float result;
        result=(340/101);
        cout<<\"Result=\"<

        

Answer 1

340 is an integer and 101 is an integer, so 340/101 performs integer division. The result of the division is converted to a float when it is assigned to result.

You need to cast one to a floating point type to have floating point division performed:

result = static_cast(340)/101;

or just use a floating literal:

result = 340.0f/101;
