Conversion of milliseconds to seconds is not working in c#

Question

I am trying to show the time taken by a process in label. So I implemented watch.

Now let say process took 7 miliseconds and I want to show it in seconds so I wrote 7/1000 which should be 0.007 but its showing 0.

I am showing it into label, so if any conversions of string can show this format please suggest me.

Show the code of watch. Also what type are you using to store the amount of the seconds? — baldrs, Oct 19 '16 at 07:36
You are using int devision use float devision like this 1f/1000f — Emad, Oct 19 '16 at 07:36

You're not posting any code, but I suppose that you divide two integer values. Integer division always results in an integer as well.

If you divide 7/1000.0 instead (and/or cast at least one operand to a floating-point number, e.g. double) the division will give you the expected result.

You are probably using an int which will not have decimal points. try and change it to a double.

The simplest fix here would be to change your calculation to

seconds/1000.0
