Hey guys probably a dumb question but can you have halve of an array? For example,
float g[] = new float [5/2];
The compiler runs but I don't understand how you can have an array that is 2.5 in length...

5Because it's integer division. 5 / 2 is 2, not 2.5. – marstran Jan 17 '17 at 13:26

Impossible. Number of elements is only integer – Joe Taras Jan 17 '17 at 13:27

"How you can have an array that is 2.5 in length?" -> You can't. Will you store a half-value in your array? It is illogic. – Mistalis Jan 17 '17 at 13:27

Did you try running as `float g[] = new float[5.0/2];` ? – bhansa Jan 17 '17 at 13:27

You can also verify it yourself, try printing the result of 5/2. – Koekje Jan 17 '17 at 13:28

none of the comments above makes sense, even your question... what is the half of this array [2, 1, 0]???? would be [0,1] or even more crazy [1, 0.5, 0]???? the half of the array is a new array of the size divided by 2.... – ΦXocę 웃 Пepeúpa ツ Jan 17 '17 at 13:32
