Apex division shows zero value instead of correct value

Question

Why is totals showing zero for me in this snippet?

Integer stats;

Decimal total;

Integer cntOrg=60;

stats=200;
total = stats/cntOrg;

system.debug('Values for '+org+' is ' + total);

Answer 1

Your stats and cntOrg should be in decimal then only output will be expected

Decimal stats;

Decimal total;

Decimal cntOrg=60;

stats=200;
total = stats/cntOrg;

system.debug('Values for '+org+' is ' + total);

If you divide integer datatype no. then result be in integer type.

So in your case 3 will be return not decimal numbers

If you divide Decimal datatype no.hen result be in Decimal type.

So in your case 3.33333333333333333333333333333333 will be return with decimal numbers
