Hi everyone , I know I'm missing something very simple here but I'm trying to print the result of a simple calculation and it always prints zero... can anyone help please:

here's my snippet:

Code:
 
Code
    int countWins;
int countAllTrades;
countWins = 10;
countAllTrades = 20;
winPct = 100*(countWins/countAllTrades);
Print("---- probabilities :-) ");
Print("# countAllTrades = " + countAllTrades.ToString() + 
      ", countWins = " + countWins + " (" + winPct.ToString() + ")" ); 
and here's what is printing..
---- probabilities :-)
# countAllTrades = 20, countWins = 10 (0)

not sure why I'm getting zero for the winPct...

Can anyone help please?

Because Int/Int => Int

So:
 
Code
                            
winPct = 100*countWins/countAllTrades; 

is better.

Or, if you want to keep the useless/confusing () :
 
Code
                            
winPct = 100*((float)countWins/(float)countAllTrades);
