Trouble converting int to float
Thread Solved |
I am trying to write a method that accepts two integer parameters and returns their average as a float, but for some reason it is only returning a double. I am quite sure that there needs to be "f" after the resulting value, but it's not showing up. Can someone please help me fix this?
RESTULTS:
average("7, 5") = 6.0

You're probably storing it in a double variable. For example
double result = 0.0;
result = average(x,y);
Now result is a double which is a larger type than float.
double result = 0.0;
result = average(x,y);
Now result is a double which is a larger type than float.

Are you expecting it to print the "f"? Doubles and floats don't look any different as output.

The literal value of a float in your code would be "6.0f", but printed output does not show that "f" unless you put it there explicitly.
Your output is perfectly fine.
