I am trying to compute (360 / 24) / 60 I keep getting the answer 0.0 when I should get 0.25
In words: I want to divide 360 by 24 and then divide the result by 60
public class Divide {
public static void main(String[] args){
float div = ((360 / 24) / 60);
System.out.println(div);
}
}
This prints out:
0.0
Why is that? Am I doing something really stupid, or is there a good reason for this
