C++ operating string

Don't understand:
int i, j, r;
r = i % j;

 I don´t know if I understand you correctly but are you trying to
do some divisions out of a string? A bit of code of what you are doing
may help.

Edited text of question.

if you want real decimal numbers (like 1.23456...) you need to use floats. Either use floats instead of ints or cast them.

float fl_i,fl_j,q;
int int_i,int_j;

q=fl_i%fl_j;
or
q=((float) (int_i))/((float)(int_j));

Hope that's what you want,

Arnon David.

wolv491, please do not edit the question once a dialog has started, it makes it impossible to follow.

>> 5%2 does not =2 it equals 2 etc/etc
It should equal 1

We need to know what it is you are doing.  Can you explain this a little more clearly and/or post some code>

>> correct Quotient responce.
>> Quotient=Int_1%int_2;
pehaps you are mixing up / and %.

/ does division and returns the quotient.  when deailing with ints, it returns only the integer portion fo the quotient, like

5/2 = 2
6/2 = 3
7/2 = 3
8/2 = 4

% does division and returns the remainder.  like

5%2 = 1
6%2 = 0
7%2 = 1

5%3 = 2
6%3 = 0
7%3 = 1
8%3 = 2
9%3 = 0
