Answer 1

You have to cast one of the ints to a float. For example:

float L = (((float)letter_counter / word_counter) * 100);

Answer 2

You could put 100.00 rather than 100 to tell the compiler to evaluate the expression as a floating point expression as follows:

int num1 = 80;
int num2 = 21;
float L = (num1 * 100.00) / num2; // 100 -> 100.00

It'll result:

380.952393
