Question What data type for decimals?

[Cheetah]

Hi there,

I am trying to work out ( 6 / 7) but it always comes to 0.0 when i use double as the datatype.

So what datatype should i use?

Thanks.

Use decimal.

Use decimal.

Tried, didn't work (for me).

Value is 0?

Show your code because double and decimal both work for me.

try (6.0/7.0) I think it should work. 6 is an integr also 7 is also an integer. By make 6.0 ,7.0 they are the float numbers

Actually, that would make them doubles. 6.0F/7.0F would make them float(single). No matter, though, as if you read the last post you would see his problem was fixed.
