Division question

843785Feb 24 2009 — edited Feb 24 2009

Hi, I am very new to java and I have a simple question about the division operator.

I would like to find the decimal number of x/y, where x<=y. When I try this,

double result = x/y;

I get zero. Is there something I am missing, does the division operator automatically floor/ceiling it? If it does, how would I do what I want?
