[RESOLVED] [2005] Dividing Problem

[technohamster]

whenever i divide a number by a number more than it (e.g 40 / 100) vb comes up with the answer 0. is there a way of stopping this and making 40 / 100 = 0.4, not 0?

Sounds like you are using Integer division instead of decimal division....

consider the following.

Dim DecimalDivision As Double = 40 / 100
        Dim IntegerDivision As Double = 40 \ 100
        MessageBox.Show(DecimalDivision.ToString)
        MessageBox.Show(IntegerDivision.ToString)
