When division is performed on ints, the result will always be an int. You can assign that result to a
double, float or decimal with automatic type conversion, but having started as an int, the result
will likely not be what you expect. If the result of int division is assigned to a floating-point variable, precision will have been lost
before the assignment. Instead, at least one operand should be cast or promoted to the final type before the operation takes place.
Noncompliant code example
static void Main()
{
decimal dec = 3/2; // Noncompliant
Method(3/2); // Noncompliant
}
static void Method(float f) { }
Compliant solution
static void Main()
{
decimal dec = (decimal)3/2;
Method(3.0F/2);
}
static void Method(float f) { }
