cannot implicitly convert type 'float' to 'int'

Question

When I try to run the following code it gives an error which is \" Cannot implicitly convert type \'float\' to \'int\' \".

I have done a lot of searches, and sadly I was

Answer 1

Since h, twoEnds, and x are all floats, the following equation will return a float:

sum1 = (h - ((cols) * x) + twoEnds)) / (cols + 1) 

You can either change sum1 to be a float, or cast your equation to be an int like so:

sum1 = (int)((h - ((cols) * x) + twoEnds)) / (cols + 1));

Answer 2

The errors puts it clear

cannot implicitly convert type 'float' to 'int'

So you have a float result which can't be converted implictly to sum1 which is of type int. Try converting/casting it explicitly:

 sum1 = (int) ((h - ((cols) * x) + twoEnds)) / (cols + 1));
