please i have a probleme "print"

[georges sleimen]

void OnTick()
  {
  double x;
  x=(1/3);

  Print("value =",x);
   }

the print value is 0. why????

[honest_knave]

It is the way typecasting works.

Try this:

void OnTick()
 {
  double x;
  x=(1/3.);

  Print("value =",x);
 }

thank you very much

[georges sleimen]

can I have one more question please

void OnTick()
  {
char   c1=1,c2=3;
//--- First example
   double d2=c1/c2+0.3;
   Print("resultat = ",d2);

resultat = 0.3

why?

[honest_knave]

Division happens before addition... https://docs.mql4.com/basis/operations/rules

1/3 = 0

0 + 0.3 = 0.3

Try this:

void OnTick()
  {
   char   c1=1,c2=3;
   //--- First example
   double d2=c1/(c2+0.3);
   Print("resultat = ",d2);
  }

1/3 = 0

0 + 0.3 = 0.3

Try this:

yes I know the basic of math but I solved the prob

can you look please

void OnTick()
  {
   char   c1=1,c2=3;
   //--- First example
   double d2=c1/double(c2)+0.3);
   Print("resultat = ",d2);
  }

now resultat is 0.6333333333333

Your code doesn't compile... what answer are you expecting?

1/3. = 0.333

0.333 + 0.3 = 0.633

1/3. = 0.333

0.333 + 0.3 = 0.633

sorry there is a false bracket

double d2=c1/double(c2)+0.3);

yes 0.633

It's not bracket, it's parenthesis or ...
