In the very rare cases where the result of an integer division was
actually intended to be stored in a float, an explicit cast would be
required. So you'd write:
double y = cast(int)(1/x);
To me,
double y = cast(double)(1/x);
makes more sense. Why cast to int?
That'd compile, too. But, it's pretty confusing to the reader, because
that code will only set y == -1.0, +1.0, +0.0, -0.0, or else create a
divide by zero error. So I'd recommend a cast to int.
