On both my Win98 and WinXP machines (I compiled the code separately on each 
one for testing) trying to divide two numbers through use of the forward 
slash results in an almost cosistant 0.

For example, the code:

	float blah;
	blah = (1 / 10);
	printf("%f %f %f\n", blah, 0.5, (11 / 10) );

prints "0.000000 0.500000 0.000000"

while the code:

 	int blah;
	blah = (1 / 10);
	printf("%f %f %f\n", blah, 0.5, (1 / 2) );

prints "0.000000 0.000000 0.000000" (not even the .5 displays properly.)

What is the problem here?
