I’m currently trying to divide counts["email"] a hash containing the number 82,000 by a variable total which contains the value 1.3 million.
When I run puts counts["email"]/total I get 0.
Why can’t I perform division on these?
Because that’s how Ruby works: when you divide integer to integer, you get an integer. In this case that’ll be 0, because it’s the integer part of the result.
To get the float result, just tell Ruby that you actually need a float! There’re many ways to do it, I guess the most simple would be just convert one of the operand to Float…
