Numeric Types

Program.cs 
using System;

class Program
{

    static double Divide(int numberOne, int numberTwo)
    {
        double numberOne;
        double numberTwo;
        numberone / numberTwo;
        return;
    }
    // YOUR CODE HERE: Define a Divide method!

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // This should print "2.5".
        Console.WriteLine(Divide(5, 2));
        // This should print "3.3333333333..."
        // (Or a value close to that, since it can't be
        // infinitely precise.)
        Console.WriteLine(Divide(10, 3));
    }

}

You didn't ask any questions, but here's a few hints about this code:

  • you can't define variables with the same name as parameters
  • you need to convert the parameters to doubles
  • you can use casting for the conversions to avoid creating additional variables
  • nothing is being returned by this code, but the method needs to return the result
