Hi Sanchez, a division between integer numbers has different rules than a division between floating point numbers: int a=2, b=3; float c = 2/3; The result is c == 0.0, because a and b are integers, so the '/' operator is the integer division (like floating point division with an additional cast to the integer type). After this there is another cast to float, because c is such, but you already have zero as result!. To get the proper result (assuming that you can't change a and b to float) you should have at least one operand which is a floating point, so as to trigger the floating point division: float c = float(a)/b; Stefano ---------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: Stefano Bettelli <bettelli@tn.infn.it> WWW : http://meitner.tn.infn.it/~bettelli
