  1. POWhy does my program keep responding with a zero?
    text
    copied!<p>I am very new to programming and to test some of the things I know I thought I would try and make a program. But it keeps responding with 0 regardless of the inputs. I'm sorry if its messy, but within my framework of understanding can you show a fix?</p> <p>Thanks for any help you provide.</p> <h2>Code</h2> <pre><code>class Program { static void Main( string[] args ) { // Probability of Hitting Console.WriteLine( "Welcome to the Ranged Death Calculator, please enter the Ballistic Skill (BS) " + Environment.NewLine + "of the model firing." ); float BallisticSkillf = Convert.ToSingle( Console.ReadLine() ); float WSProbabilityf; if( BallisticSkillf &lt;= 5 ) { WSProbabilityf = Convert.ToSingle( ( BallisticSkillf / 6 ) ); } else { WSProbabilityf = Convert.ToSingle( ( ( 5 / 6 ) ) + ( 1 / 6 * ( ( BallisticSkillf - 6 ) / 6 ) ) ); } // Probability of Wounding Console.WriteLine( "Please enter the toughness of your target" ); float TargetToughnessf = Convert.ToSingle( Console.ReadLine() ); Console.WriteLine( "Please enter the strength of the Weapon firing" ); float WeaponStrengthf = Convert.ToSingle( Console.ReadLine() ); float WoundProbabilityf = 0; if( WeaponStrengthf - TargetToughnessf &gt;= 2 ) WoundProbabilityf = ( (float)( 5 / 6 ) ); else if( WeaponStrengthf - TargetToughnessf == 1 ) WoundProbabilityf = ( (float)( 4 / 6 ) ); else if( WeaponStrengthf - TargetToughnessf == 0 ) WoundProbabilityf = ( (float)( 3 / 6 ) ); else if( WeaponStrengthf - TargetToughnessf == -1 ) WoundProbabilityf = ( (float)( 2 / 6 ) ); else if( WeaponStrengthf - TargetToughnessf &lt;= -2 ) WoundProbabilityf = ( (float)( 1 / 6 ) ); //Probability of failing saving throw Console.WriteLine( "Please enter the relevant armour save of the target, (So, 2, would be for 2+, , 3+ etc.) (Also, take into consideration the AP Value of the weapon fired)" ); float nTargetRelevantSave = Convert.ToSingle( Console.ReadLine() ); float TRProbabilityf = ( (float)( ( nTargetRelevantSave - 1 ) / 6 ) ); // Number of shots fired Console.WriteLine( "Finally, please enter the number of shots fired with the weapon" ); float nShotsFromWeapon = Convert.ToSingle( Console.ReadLine() ); // All previous values to determine likely number of wounds inflicted float nWoundsInflictedf = ( (float)WSProbabilityf * (float)WoundProbabilityf * (float)TRProbabilityf * (float)nShotsFromWeapon ); Console.WriteLine( "The number of wounds you are likely to inflict is " + (float)nWoundsInflictedf ); } } </code></pre>
