// This program calculates the volume of a cone

import java.io.*;
class number14{
    public static void main(String a[]) throws IOException{
        System.out.println("This program calculates the volume of a cone");
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("Enter the radius of the cone: ");
        double r = Double.parseDouble(br.readLine());
 
        System.out.println("Enter the height of the cone");
        double h = Double.parseDouble(br.readLine());
 
        double v = (1/3) * (3.14) * (r * r) * h;
        System.out.println("The volume of the cone is "+ v);
 
    }
}

The volume always returns 0, for any value of r and h.What am i doing wrong?? help!!!

Welcome studet
Please use code tags when posting code, help can be found here

(1/3) = 0 (integer division, not double division)
zero times any number is zero
