Question

I have the following code:

float fl = ((float)20701682/(float)20991474);  

And that gives me fl = 0.9861948.

I would like to convert 0.9861948 to 2% since 2% has been downloaded.
I’m downloading a file and calculating progress.

Any help would be grate.

Answer 1

I guess you mean something like

int percentage = (1 - fl) * 100;

to calculate the percentage.

But for fl = 0.9861948 this gives 1 (1.38052 casted to int).

If you want 2 instead, you could use Math.ceil:

int percentage = (int) Math.ceil((1 - fl) * 100); // gives 2
