Working with percentages in C#
-
I have the following code: double numdaysPercentage; numdaysPercentage = 14/30; I get an answer like 0.0. I should get an answer like .4666667 Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.
If you divide by an int, you get an int. double n = 14/30.0; will work or double n = 14/(double)30;

You are doing integer division, and 14/30 is indeed 0. On the other hand, 14.0/30 will give you what you are looking for.

The suggestions above are good, you can also tag the numbers with an 'd' to indicate they are doubles. (Or 'f' for floats)
double n = 14d / 30d;Simon
