project name: division

this program will take two integers, divided one by the other, and display the result

enter the following command statements between the curly brackes under the main function:

output the following, by using the System.out.println$()$; command

"this program will take two integers, divided one by the other, and display the result"

declare two numbers as integers and assign values

number$1=2$

number$2=3$

new data type: double

used for division

used when value is a decimal

declare a double called quotient

assign quotient the expression number$1/$ number$2$

click on Save All button $($if button disabled, saved automatically$)$

run the program; your output should look like this:

$2$ divided by $3$ equals $0\mathrm{.}0$

BUILD SUCCESS

the answer is wrong; yet, it says build success; huh?

the reason: when two integers are divided, the computer assumes the answer must be an integer, also; so$,$ it drops any decimal

how to fix? make the integers double, too

change number$1$ and number$2$ from int to double

save; run; now output should say

$2\mathrm{.}0$ divided by $3\mathrm{.}0$ equals $0\mathrm{.}6666666666666666$
