Hmm, I think you want
c = ((float)(x))/((float)(y));
Otherwise, the division will be done first as integers, giving an integer
quotient, which you're then turning into a float.

| Hi John- You can convert quantities from one data type to another (it's called "casting", I believe). The following computes the quantity x/y, then converts it to a float: ---...--- int x, y; float c; float divide ( int x, int y) { c = (float) (...)
