Quick and (hopefully) simple float question
Hello all,
I've never tried to use a float in my JSP pages before, so hope I'm just doing something stupid - anyway, here is the code:
//************************
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" import="java.lang.*" errorPage="" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<body>
<%
float aTest = 90/60;
%>
<%= aTest %>
</body>
</html>
//************************
The output I get on the screen is 1.0
How can I get it to show the correct 1.5?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
But that might give you warnings as you will be trying to fit a double into a float...
so:
float aTest = 90.0f / 60.0f ;
would probably be better ;-)
