Begginer ~ why is my divider not working?

**Christian_Doucet** · April 13th, 2014, 07:59 PM

Hi

I was hoping someone could help with my code. For some reasons, there is no divider in the operation. Iadded a print i to confirm the loop works. I tried with and without the brackets

Can you use the i in the operations of the loop? I figured I could since printing it out give me a list of numbers

Thanks

public class harmonique {
 
    public static void afficherHarmonique( int wholeNumber ) {
        int harmonique = 1;
 
        for( int i = 2; i <= wholeNumber + 1; i = i + 1 ) {
            System.out.println ("i =" + i);
            harmonique = harmonique + (1/i);
            System.out.println ("harmonique =" + harmonique);
 
        }
    }
}

Actually its working, it just that you didn't noticed that it is working since you are using an int primitive type.
1 divided by i (which is integer) will make result equal to zero (without decimal places) if I am not wrong. you better use double or float primitive type if your are expecting decimal places.
