Hi

From some reason println(float(291664/1239570))

results in 0.0

a) Why is that? b) is there a way to solve it?

Try println( (float) 291664/1239570);

Or if you prefer Processing syntax println(float(291664)/1239570);

Note that by putting the division inside the brackets you're converting to a floating point number after you've done the integer division.
