❔ Why is my decimal rounding?

I have to be missing something obvious but I would appreciate some help >.>

with merchant.markup = 20, the decimal markup should be 1.2 but it's 1
'

 decimal markup = (CurrentMerchant.Markup / 100) + 1;

 decimal markup = (CurrentMerchant.Markup / 100) + 1;

what type is ?

Wicked CatOP•6/8/23, 6:58 PM

int

Jimmacle•6/8/23, 6:58 PM

yeah, int / int gives you an int

Jimmacle•6/8/23, 6:58 PM

you need to cast either the left or right side to a floating point type

Wicked CatOP•6/8/23, 6:59 PM

hmm okay i'll see what that is

Jimmacle•6/8/23, 6:59 PM

simplest way is changing to which makes it a double instead of an int

Jimmacle•6/8/23, 7:00 PM

there are also suffixes you can add to number literals to make them a specific type, like:

For bare values it's best to supply the type by suffix, subtle bugs otherwise
