[BUG] Why does this happen?

[Rodrigo Lopes Paitach]

Can anyone explain to me why this happens?

double result = 15/100;
Print("15/100 = " + result);

Console: 2013.09.17 15:01:25    Test EURUSD,Daily: 15/100 = 0.00000000

You might want to review Type Casting.

Since 15 and 100 are both ints, the resulting quotient is also an int. Then the int is target-typecasted to a double. If you want the resulting quotient to be a double, make either the dividend or divisor (or both) a double--for example, by adding a decimal point to one or both.

double result = 15.0/100.0;
