Applying casts to the results of integer and floating point division: what's going on here?

Question

I\'m a beginner and there\'s something that\'s not making much sense to me. Please could be so kind as to explain where I\'m going wrong. I\'m sorry if this has been asked b

Answer 1

The cast is only applied to the expression immediately after it.
Examples:

(int)1/3  
applies the cast to the 1. equivalent to ((int)1)/3

(int)(1/3)
the cast is applied to the result of the expression.

(int)((double)1.333*(float)3.167)
getting a little more complicated. 1.333 casted to double, 
multiplied by 3.167 casted to a float, with the result casted to an int

Hope that helps!
