Why is Java’s division broken?

by

Java is a strongly typed language so you should be aware of the types of the values in expressions. If not…

1 is an int (as 2), so 1/2 is the integer division of 1 and 2, so the result is 0 as an int. Then the result is converted to a corresponding double value, so 0.0.

Integer division is different than float division, as in math (natural numbers division is different than real numbers division).
