division - How to divide 2 int in c?

Question

wanna divide 2 numbers and get the result like this:

5 / 2 = 2.50

But it only outputs 2.

I don't now what i'm doing wrong.

Here my code:

int a;
int b;
int c;
printf("First num
");
scanf("%d", &a);
printf("Second num
");
scanf("%d", &b);
c = a / b;
printf("%d", c);

Answer 1

You need a double variable to store the result. int stores only integers. Additionally, you have to typecast the other variables also before performing the division.

Do something like this

double c;
.
.
.
c = (double)a / (double)b;
printf("%f", c);

NOTE:

You do not need the & in printf() statements.
