Question

I’m trying to divide 2 integers but the results returns zero no matter what. Should I use float or what? I just can’t get it to work. I’ve tried floats but I get weird results. Here’s my code:

    NSUInteger someNumber = 156;
    NSUInteger points = 597;
    NSUInteger otherNumber = 5;
    NSUInteger difference = (someNumber - points);
    NSLog(@"%d", difference);
    NSUInteger divide = (difference / otherNumber);
    NSLog(@"%d", divide);
    NSUInteger multiply = (divide * 4826);
    NSLog(@"%d", multiply);
    NSUInteger total = (358 - multiply);
    NSLog(@"%d", total);

Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Answer 1

I finally fixed it!!! I had to change difference to a float.

NSUInteger difference = (someNumber - points);

to

float difference = (someNumber - points);
