Why dividing two integers doesn’t get a float? [duplicate]

by

This is because of implicit conversion. The variables b, c, d are of float type. But the / operator sees two integers it has to divide and hence returns an integer in the result which gets implicitly converted to a float by the addition of a decimal point. If you want float divisions, try making the two operands to the / floats. Like follows.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int a;
    float b, c, d;
    a = 750;
    b = a / 350.0f;
    c = 750;
    d = c / 350;
    printf("%.2f %.2f", b, d);
    // output: 2.14 2.14
    return 0;
}
