Someone help me here. I am getting the correct numerical result but failing the conditions.

Question about the task

Task No. 6 about integer type conversions

Under discussion

package com.codegym.task.task10.task1006; /* Task No. 6 about integer type conversions */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { double d = (short) 2.50256e2d; char c = (short) 'd'; short s = (short) 2.22; int i = (short) 150000; float f = (short) 0.50f; double result = f + (d * s) + 500; System.out.println("result: " + result); } }

Remove unnecessary operators to get the correct answer:
result: 1000.0

double d = (short) 2.50256e2d;
char c = (short) 'd';
short s = (short) 2.22;
int i = (short) 150000;
float f = (short) 0.50f;
double result = f + (i / c) - (d * s) - 500e-3;

Requirements:

The program should display text on the screen.
Don't change the screen output command.
The main() method must contain a char variable c.
The main() method must contain a short variable s.
The main() method must contain an int variable i.
The main() method must contain a float variable f.
The main() method must contain a double variable d.
The main() method must contain a double variable result.
Don't change the initial value of the variables during initialization. You can only change the cast operators.
The program should display "result: 1000.0".

public static void main(String[] args) { double d = (short) 2.50256e2d; char c = (byte) 'd'; short s = (byte) 2.22; int i = (int) 150000; float f = 0.50f; double result = f + (i / c) - (d * s) - 500e-3; System.out.println("result: " + result); }

THis helped me find it: System.out.println("d = " + d); System.out.println("c = " + c); System.out.println("s = " + s); System.out.println("i = " + i); System.out.println("f = " + f); System.out.println(" "); System.out.println("i / c = " + (i / c)); System.out.println("d * s = " +(d * s)); System.out.println("f + (i / c) - (d * s) = " + (f + (i / c) - (d * s))); System.out.println("500e-3 = " + (500e-3) ); But honestly it was total random hunt and peck. ANd I still don't understand why or how it worked when I got it right.

you not suppose to change code, line 15: you changed the result, original : double result = f + (i / c) - (d * s) - 500e-3;

You modified the code. The only thing that you can add or subtract is the cast operator, such as removing (short), or adding (double), (int), (char) etc. I recommend resetting the task and sticking to the restrictions given.
