Need some help

Hey there, I am extremely new to java and was wanting some help on this bug I am getting.
My code is as follows:

Code:

---

import java.util.Scanner;
public class bavg{
        public static void main (String args[]){
                Scanner keyboard=new Scanner(System.in);
                System.out.println("Enter the amount of at-bats.");
                int ab=keyboard.nextInt();
                System.out.println("Now, enter the amount of hits.");
                int hits=keyboard.nextInt();
                double avg=(hits/ab);
                System.out.println("Your batting average is "+avg+".");
        }
}

---

But whenever I run the program, no matter what I do, I get my average is 0.0
Anyone have any suggestions?

Again I am very new to java so I apologize in advance for any silly mistakes.

I tried turning the int "avg" into a double to see if that did anything, but it didn't help.

You need to type cast the int variables to double. If "ave" is a double, "ab" and "hits" need to be converted into doubles as well.

Code:

---

double avg= (double)hits/(double)ab;

---

Or this, basically the same thing:

Code:

---

double avg= ((double)hits)/ab;

---

Alternatively, you could just change those int variables into double.
