Java-Returning BigDecimal as String: Returns int

Question

I'm using a fraction to add to the current BigDecimal. It keeps returning an int. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

//within a class function    
public BigDecimal result  = new BigDecimal(1);
int x = 2;
double g = 1/x;
result = result.add(new BigDecimal(g));
String s = result.toString();
System.out.println(s);

Answer 1

You have to do the following:

BigDecimal result = new BigDecimal(1);
int x = 2;
double g = 1.0 / x;  //<---------- 1.0
result = result.add(new BigDecimal(g));
String s = result.toString();
System.out.println(s);

then there will be a double as outcome
