I am trying to do a division to get a decimal answer and every time I try it it returns either 1 or 0 which annoying as the actual answer is 0.017… as I am effectively doing 1/560 however I cannot just use this case as I want it to be variable, as in I want to be able to put in different values and do this function.
Here is my code:
float x = 1/width;
mat4 matrix =
{
{x, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f},
{0.0f, 0.00416f, 0.0f, 0.0f},
{0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f},
{0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f},
};```
>Solution :
In code:
int width = 2;
float x = 1/width;
operation 1/width is integer division which is rounded to the nearest integer.
To perform floating point division do:
float x = 1.0f / width;
width will be automatically converted to float.
