为什么除法的结果是零而不是小数? [英] Why does division result in zero instead of a decimal?

问题描述

Teaching myself C and finding that when I do an equation for a temp conversion it won't work unless I change the fraction to a decimal. ie,

tempC=(.555*(tempF-32)) will work but tempC=((5/9)*(tempF-32)) won't work.

Why?
According to the book "C Primer Plus" it should work as I'm using floats for both tempC and tempF.

解决方案

It looks like you have integer division in the second case:

tempC=((5/9)*(tempF-32))

The 5 / 9 will get truncated to zero.

To fix that, you need to make one of them a floating-point type:

tempC=((5./9.)*(tempF-32))
