How to convert a long to a double using casting?

[polar dawn]

My program is a calculator which uses "long" to account for larger numbers. But when it comes to division, I need to convert it to a double so that it has the decimal. I've tried to use "doubleValue()"/"(double) variable[Casting]" but each time I wasn't able to get it to work (If it was 1/3 for example it would return 0). Any ideas? (variables number_one/two, etc, are user inputted). Site is at "case /" where I tried some things for a while

You are most likely performing the cast after doing the division. Try:

double d = (double)number_one / (double)number_two;```

Oh, it works now. Hadn't even thought of that. Thanks!
