Float rounds by it self

Sjors

I wanted to calculate the aspect ratio of my screen so I used this code

float aspect;

void setup() {
  fullScreen();
}

void draw() {
  aspect = width/height;
  println(aspect);
}

but it returns a 1? a ran it again on windows calculator to be sure my whole understanding of division wasn't wrong and it is not. So what is happening here?

EDIT: I just realised that it doesn't even round since the answer is 1.778 it should round to 2 right?

Your operation is an integer division. You should do instead: aspect=(width*1.0)/height; or aspect=((float)width)/height;

GoToLoop

aspect = (float) width/height;

@kfrajer thnx I understand now :)
