I want to let you know that I figured it out. I set the total_resistance_denominator to be a double rather than an int but it still gave me a 0 for any number of R other than 1. Then, I cast R1 to be a double in the equation for total_resistance_denominator and I finally got it to print the correct number.

So my code now is:
double total_resistance_denominator = 1 / (double)R1

I appreciate that, thank you.

Thank you for the advice I didnt even notice the extra % after %d, it's honestly unfortunate that the newer VS points that out. I'm stuck using this version for the computer science class I am taking.

I'm realizing now, R1 (R2 and R3 which aren't in this code quite yet) need to be int but nothing is said about the total_resistance itself. Would it change anything if I set the that to be a double value?

I agree! Using int was a requirement for R1 from my teacher.

I noticed that it kept saying an error because it was computing 1/0 even when I had R1 as a value other than 1. Why is that the case though? If R1 is 2 why would it be 1/0 rather than 1/2?

In regards to using double over int, I completely agree and I would think to do so as well. Using int for R1 is a requirement for the assignment given by the teacher, I'm assuming for us to troubleshoot the problem I am currently having with my code.

Honestly I agree with what your saying, C is the language I have to learn for the computer science class I need to take for my Mechanical Engineering major. Unfortunately using the #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS is something the teacher has told us to include in every code as its only been a few weeks of class thus far. He's teaching it as more of a, do what I show you and learn what it does later.
