division has higher precedence than addition, so 1/4 is calculated first,
and the result is then added to 0.1.
and as I've already explained, 1/4 is an integer division, so the result
is rounded down to the the nearest integer (0). in other words, your
expression boils down to
0.1 + 0
which is 0.1 [1].
the precedence order is explained here:
