c# Divide operation Not working

Question

When I do this math below I do not receive the decimal point. string test = (2456 / 1000).To.String(); I get 2 instead of 2.456. How can I fix this issue. The answer suppose to be 2.456. Can someone assist me.

that's because 2456 and 1000 being integer numbers C# compiler considers them int variable hence you don't get any value after decimal point. string test = (2456d / 1000d).ToString(); here you need to explicitly specify the compiler to consider your values as double. for more on this read my article: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/data-type-suffixes-in-c-sharp/

post your full code what is sw? convert it to double first

how would I do this with the elapsed time below to get the decimal decimal test = (sw.ElapsedMilliseconds / 1000);
