Math ?

What am I doing wrong here?
lFreeBytes = 3849510912
double dbFree = (lFreeBytes / 1073741824);
Console.Write(dbFree.ToString());

result shows 3.0
should be: 3.58...

BTW, This is the result that shows in the dbl var.

I think you should change it to
double dbFree = ((double)lFreeBytes / 1073741824D);

John,

Since the operands are a long and an int, the result is an int. Try making
at least one of them a double. e.g.:

dbFree = ((double)lFreeBytes) / 1073741824

or

dbFree = lFreeBytes / 1073741824d

HTH,
Nicole

Hmm, try:

const double lFreeBytes = 3849510912.0;
double dbFree = (lFreeBytes / 1073741824.0);
Console.Write(dbFree.ToString());

Rgds.
