While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

you know about integer division?

@ashen radish https://javabook.net/integers/division

Read the sections on integers and floating point numbers

but this one explains why you aren't getting the right result

[ashen radish]

yea

[ashen radish]

hmm

[ashen radish]

ok

bruh

yall shouldve just told me to replace int with float

[slim nacelle]

they guided u to where to look

[ashen radish]

it works

[slim nacelle]

also u dont even need a variable to begin with

calculation inside the print

[ashen radish]

um dude i didnt check out anything they sent

i just used my own logic

[ashen radish]

nice guidance dude

Closed the thread.

?

I would have continued if you said yes/no

[deft pebble]

Could have, but then you wouldn't have learned

at least not as deeply

[paper bison]

also no need getting mad getting help lol

The answer is correct in your program but not accurate since in cases where the answer comes in decimals because the entire program is in int.You can use double or float to correct this.Change the 12 no line as

double perc = (amt/tamt)*100.0;

Hope it works.If it isn't working ,knock me.

[paper bison]

that wont fix the issue though

if amt and tamt are still integers

it will still do integer division (amt/tamt)

[hidden coral]

then do it using decimal types only.The case here happening is integer/integer = integer and it adds just a zero.
