float f = 1 / 3

[jLNv0pDG]

float f = 1 / 3;
cout << f;

0

How can I make f = .333?

I assume that 1/3 is being calculated/truncated as an int.

Short answer: float f = 1.0 / 3.0;

[xiaozhiwei]

use: float f = (float)1/3;

You include the output in the code tag along with the code, separated by at least three dashes/minus signs "---" Any more than three will still work...

The following:

[code]
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){
  cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
  return 0;
}

---
Hello World!

[/code]

produces:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

#include<iostream> using namespace std; int main(){ cout << "Hello World!" << endl; return 0; }

Hello World!
