[RESOLVED] Maths question

[Kimmy4]

Hi guys,

I was wondering whether this was possible in C++?

I have an integer that i was to divide by 25, but i only want the number of times the 'full' 25 can fit into the integer i have.

For example if the integer i have is 51, it will return 2.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any help.

As long as the variable that will hold the result is an integer, it simply "cut off" the decimals after the division:

int x = 51;
    int y = 25;
    int z = x / y;

z will contain 2.

Thanks again.

It wont round, it will simply (I've lost the word for it) "cut off" the decimals.
