c++ integer division

Question

Say I\'ve got

SDL_Rect rect;
rect.x = 5; // rect.x is of type \"Uint16\"
int y = 11;

and I want to perform the operation rect.x/y

Answer 1

Cast either rect.x or y to float, and then do the division. This will force the entire division operation to take place in floating point.

float result = rect.x/(float)y;
int rounded = ceil(result);
