You're doing int division which always returns an int (truncated to the nearest int). If you want a double result, you have to use at least one double in your statement:
double result = 9.0 / 2; // the 9.0 makes this double math // or this will work the same: result = 9 / 2.0; // or this result = (double) 9 / 2;

I'm with you so far.Originally Posted by curmudgeon
Actually it does not "truncate to the nearest int." It truncates by discarding any fractional part. Result is not necessarily the nearest int.
public class Z { public static void main(String [] args) { int x1 = 1000000/500001; int x2 = 1000000/499999; int y1 = -1000000/500001; int y2 = -1000000/499999; double f1 = (double)1000000/500001; double f2 = (double)1000000/499999; double g1 = -(double)1000000/500001; double g2 = -(double)1000000/499999; System.out.println("f1 = " + f1 + ", x1 = " + x1); System.out.println("f2 = " + f2 + ", x2 = " + x2); System.out.println("g1 = " + g1 + ", y1 = " + y1); System.out.println("g2 = " + g2 + ", y2 = " + y2); } }
Output:
f1 = 1.999996000008, x1 = 1 f2 = 2.000004000008, x2 = 2 g1 = -1.999996000008, y1 = -1 g2 = -2.000004000008, y2 = -2
Cheers!
