C++. Dividing 1 by any number gives 0

Question

When I try to divide 1/60 or 1/(60*60) it gives 0. Even in debugger window. I am a bit confused what it could be, because 2/3 or 2.5/6 give results.

My code:

Answer 1

The denominator has to be a decimal number too.

double k1 = 1/60.0; //Should work

Otherwise your program will essentially truncate all the decimals.

LITTLE EXTRA: When your denominator is a variable, you have to cast it:

double k2 = 1/(double)myDenom;
