Hey its me again

[Phyxed]

I know this will probably be such an easy thing but I cant figure out how to change my 9/blop to give me a 2.5. I keep getting an error. Im under the assumption that casting a double on either the 9 or the blop will give me a result with a 2.5 but i keep getting an error with the possible loss of percision. Any help would be appreciated, and here is the code thus far.

int blip = 5;
int blop;

blop = blip%3;
blip = 9/(double)blop;
System.out.println("Today " + blop + " cats");
System.out.println("caught " + blip + " mice.");

Thanks again guys,

Phyxed

Did you try making blip a double instead of an int?

[Phyxed]

I did and I got the same error at line 17 where its blop = blip%3. Is there anyway to force a double on the blip = 9/blop ?because what i have posted originally is giving me an error and its because of that double infront of blop.

Well you could make blip and blop both doubles or use a cast like this:

blop = (int) blip % 3;

I think this is what you want:

		double blip = 5;
		int blop;

		blop = (int) blip % 3;
		blip = (double) 9 / blop;
		System.out.println("Today " + blop + " cats");
		System.out.println("caught " + blip + " mice.");

When you run into problems like this the best thing to do is experiment. If you think it's going to require a cast, try it. Try casting different to different types until you get it right. When you get it working correctly, take a minute and think about why it works that way and not the other ways.

I appreciate the help a lot guys thank you very much!
