decimal calculations?

hi,
when i try this: float a=p.getDuration()/1000000;
System.out.println("a="+a+" actual="+p.getDuration());

p.getDuration() is a number like 1791800
so, a is expected to be 1.7918.
but why does is come as 1.0?

Is that getDuration() return an int value? In that case you have to cast it as a float.

Code:

---

float a = (float)p.getDuration()/1000000;

---

tried that just now. it still returns 1.0. getDuration returns a long

Can you show your code here to see?

you need something like:

Code:

---

float a = (float)(p.getDuration()/1000000.0);

---

Your use of an integer in the denominator causes the division of "p.getDuration()" to be done as an integer.

Floating an integer is still an integer

Or yes lol, thanks for the pointing my mistake there. I just code in the message box here.
