Why does Eclipse doesn't display a number less than zero?

Question

Every time I run this test program it display, 0.0 instead of 0.5

Does anyone know how to fix this in Eclipse?

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[]args){

        double  distance;

        distance = 1/2;

        System.out.println(distance);
    }

}

You are using int literals. Just make one of these operands as double type. — Andrew Tobilko, Aug 02 '16 at 18:22

Your division is Integer division. There is no fault of Eclipse. Try following:

distance = 1/2.0;

OR

distance = 1.0/2;

Output:0.5
