[RESOLVED] float valueA = 5/9; Always evaulates to 0

[steve_rm]

Hello,

I am writing a simple C program using Visual studio 2008.

And when I divide 5 / 9. I always get an zero. However, the correct value should be 0.5555.

Can anyone explain this?

Many thanks

//Calculate the temperature in celsius
int CalculateCelsius(int fahrenheit)
{
	float valueA = 0;
	int valueB = 0;
	float celsius = 0;
	
	valueA = 5 / 9; //Always displays zero
	valueB = fahrenheit - 32;
	celsius = valueA * valueB;

	return (int) celsius;
}
