Mixed Type Expression Evaluation
Whenever an integer value
and a floating-point value are joined by an
operator, implicit type coercion occurs as follows.
1.The integer value is temporarily coerced to a floating-point value.
2.The
operation is performed.
3.The
result is a floating-point value.
Consider int sum; int count; float
average;
and average = sum / count;
average will have the value 0.0
if sum = 60 and count = 80
