I read the variables a,b,c, and d.and then I entered:System.out.println((b*i)/d);where i =2, b=7, and d=8. (a and c dont matter right now)Very simple, yes?Then why does it say that (b*1)/d = 1?
2 * 7 = 1414 / 8 = 1 (integer operation)What did you expect would happen?

ah oh yeah you can't use integer.

You can use integer, but not if you want double arithmetic (and you're not otherwise using doubles or casting to double).

If you make a cast at the end your result will be 1.0. If you expect 1.75 then you will need to cast one of the variables.
