There must be some logic behind this calculation. But I am not able to get it. The normal mathematics does not result in such behavior. Can anyone help me out in explaining why

printf ("float %f \n", 2/7 * 100.0); results in printing 1.000000

Why so? I am not understanding the reason

    Integer division. 2/7 = 0 as an integer, 0 * 100.0 = 0.0 as a float.

    Do 2.0/7 * 100.0 to get the answer you’re looking for.
