Problem Solution

In this program, we will read two floating-point numbers from the user and perform the float division using the fdiv() library function.

Program/Source Code

The source code to perform float division of two numbers using the fdiv() function is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

# Ruby program to perform float division of 
# two numbers using the fdiv() function

print "Enter number1: ";
num1 = gets.chomp.to_f;  

print "Enter number1: ";
num2 = gets.chomp.to_f;  

result = num1.fdiv(num2);
print "Float Division is: ",result;

Output

Enter number1: 22
Enter number1: 3
Float Division is: 7.333333333333333

Explanation

In the above program, we read two float numbers using gets.chomp.to_f. Then we calculated the float division using the fdiv() library function and printed the result.
