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

In C++, the (340/101) is considered in isolation. Since both operands of / are ints, the compiler generates code for integer division. Then, since you're assigning that result to a float, it generates code to convert the resulting int to float.

To get floating point division, you need to ensure that (at least) one of the operands to / starts out as a float (or double), such as: float result = 340.0f / 101.0f;
