c# - Possible Loss of Fraction

Question

Forgive me if this is a na?ve question, however I am at a loss today.

I have a simple division calculation such as follows:

double returnValue = (myObject.Value / 10);

Value is an int in the object.

I am getting a message that says Possible Loss of Fraction. However, when I change the double to an int, the message goes away.

Any thoughts on why this would happen?

Answer 1

When you divide two int's into a floating point value the fraction portion is lost. If you cast one of the items to a float, you won't get this error.

So for example turn 10 into a 10.0

double returnValue = (myObject.Value / 10.0);
