Guys Convert your data type before doing calculation ..

Here is the Code :
.

Integer i = 12;

Decimal d = i / 5;

System.debug(d);

 

According to you what should be the right answer 2.4? Nopes current answer is 2.




Let me explain to you..




Decimal is a real number, so it can definitely hold 2.4. But the problem is, i is an integer, and 5 is an integer. So Apex will consider the type of i / 5 to be an integer because of that!

 

So the above code can be translated as:

 

Integer i = 12;
Integer temp = i / 5;
Decimal d = temp;
System.debug(d)

 

Now, make sense?

 

Okay, what if we want to fix it? We should do the data conversion first, and the calculation later. Below is the code.

 

 

Integer i = 12;
Decimal decVersion = i;
Decimal d = decVersion / 5; System.debug(d); 

 

This will output 2.4
