Decimal rounding C#

[jprose]

This is so basic, it's almost embarassing.

My problem code is this:

decimal result = 0;
result = (100/10);

In this case result is 10, of course.

But if I try this:
result = (100/1000);

result should be .1, but it rounds to 0, as if the decimal data type cannot support decimals.

Should I be using a diferent data type for my variable?

Thanks!

Hi,
You struck me too at this
Went through a bit of msdn and found this

Literals

If you want a numeric real literal to be treated as decimal, use the suffix m or M, for example:

decimal myMoney = 300.5m;
Without the suffix m, the number is treated as a double, thus generating a compiler error.

So if u say

decimal d = 10m/100;

it does print out as .1 (so Yay!)
But found that double and float are behaving the same :(
Hope someone can throw some light

I have no clue how i missed this, using decimals and doubles extensively in my apps.

cheers

ok...
decimal d = 10;

d = d/100;
Console.WriteLine(d);

this gives 0.1

but

decimal d = 10/100;
Console.WriteLine(d);

this gives 0

Try

Console.WriteLine(10/100)

This should answer your problem;

if you insist on divising number when u declare d
then do

decimal d = 10.0/100

Cheers
