Does anyone know C++?

[TLEJ]

I have a very very basic C++ problem... Here's my code so far:

#include "stdafx.h"


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
/* Initiate Variables */
	int miles, gallons, mpg;

/* Get Vaules for Variables */
	printf("Enter miles driven: ");
	scanf_s ("%d", &miles);
	printf("Enter gallons used: ");
	scanf_s ("%d", &gallons);

/* Calculate MPG, then output */
	mpg = gallons / miles;
	printf("Your miles per gallon was: %d\n", mpg);


return 0;
}

But if ran, I get 0 unless miles = gallons, I get 1. It's doing a "trancauted 0?" or something.. Idk. I need help.. I forgot how to get this to run right.

I haven't done c++ in awhile, but I think because you have the values initiated as 'int' it won't display decimals. So, you have it set up to divide miles by gallons, which gives you less than 1, ergo it displays 0. So I would try switching it to mpg = miles / gallons and see what that gives you.

That should fix it.

Whoops, double post.

Hehe, sure is.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if C++ did the math backwards or not. Like divided gallons by miles. Glad that helped you.

BEEN 2 LONG. WERE TURAL @???

And yeah, I think that's why I ended up typing them backwards.. I originally had miles/gallons=mpg in my head, and I knew I had to switch them around, so I guess I switched everything..

Who knows. Probably off moderating and saying no pix no pruf on some forum somewhere.

Yeah, going from thought to keyboard changes sometimes. At least it's all working now.
