variables - Swift: Print decimal precision of division

Question

I'm trying print the result of division for example:

let division = (4/6)
print(division) 

In this case the print out is 0.

How can I print the numeric value of the division without losing the numeric value. I mean without casting the output to string.

Answer 1

You are performing integer division. You need to perform floating point division.

In your code, division is an Int value. 4 / 6 is zero in integer division.

You need:

let division = 4.0/6.0
print(division)
