Multiplying decimals

[ajung90]

I'm trying to multiply a decimal number with an integer.
C++ keeps rounding up my decimal before multiplying, therefore resulting in an integer answer when i want a decimal answer.

Please help!

Thanks

u cant do decimals in an int try float

Instead of using int, use either double or float.

1)use type cast
2)if you are saving the result in a variable then use float or double.

I put float instead of int, but it's still rounding it..

A computer does not round: it truncates.

Post the expression that's giving the unexpected result; it saves the guess-work.
