If you want to force floating-point division in C++ when dividing two integers, one of the numbers should be _______.
- casted as float
- multiplied by zero
- negated
- subtracted by one
In C++, to force floating-point division when dividing two integers, you can cast one or both of the integers to a floating-point type (like float or double). By doing this, the division will result in a floating-point value, preserving any fractional part. For instance, (float)5 / 2 would result in 2.5 instead of 2.
