Thanks for the replies.
I tend to use a lot of float math (robotics and automation) so
I almost always want float output in case of division. And once
in a while I bump into this issue.
I am wondering what are the best ways to work around it.
float c = a / b; // a and b could be integers.
Some solutions:
float c = cast!float(a) / b;
float c = 1f * a / b;
Any less verbose ways to do it?
Another solution I am thinking is to write a user defined
integer type with an overloaded division to return a float
instead and use it everywhere in place of integers. I am
curious how this will work out.
Exotic way:
import std.stdio;
float div(float a, float b) { return a / b; }
void main()
{
auto c = 3.div(4);
writeln(c);
}
