    Default Output of 0 or 100?

    int newReading = 600;
    	int ReadingA = 780;
    	int ReadingB = 260;
     
     
    	double FinReading = ((newReading-ReadingB)/(ReadingA-ReadingB))*100;
     
    	System.out.print(FinReading);

    why is the output of this always 0.0 (or 0 if an int) instead of 65???

    Default Re: Output of 0 or 100?

    Because 260 / 520 will return 0, and 0 * 100 is still 0
