Which one to use? Double/Double or Float/Float? and how could I show it in strin

[altamimi22]

Hey guys I have try many type of number when I try to divide two numbers.

For example:
if I have : x = 1, and y= 1000
and I want to get a result of
0.001 if i did x/y
and
1000 if i did y/x

I try using @"%f" but it does not show it in the right way..
I know if I use @"%0.3f" it will show the answer as 0.001
but what if I have y = 10000? the answer will be 0.000
and in my case if I did y/x the answer will be 1000.000
and I only want to show the 1000

how could I do it?

You have not made clear what you think is the right way to display the various numbers you might get.

sorry,
this is what I want:


This is my code and the result for each code is below it.

float total = 1*1000;
lable.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f",total];
---------------------------------------------
the result comes to : 1000.000000
and I want the result to be: 1000
---------------------------------------------


float total = 1/1000;
lable.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f",total]
---------------------------------------------
the result comes to: 0.001000
and I want the result to be 0.001
---------------------------------------------


float total = 1/100;
lable.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f",total]
---------------------------------------------
the result comes to: 0.010000
and I want the result to be 0.01
---------------------------------------------

I want to have one code for all of them, and it should auto detect how many digits it should be.
