How to calculate and display the digit after the decimal point?
I only remember that I can use printf(%.f) to display the digit after the decimal point, but I do not know that how to calculate and result the digit after the decimal point (only can display 0.00 like image photo). What the code I need for calculate? Please give me the code or example page, thank you.

you declared 'm' to be an int, so any fractional value will ultimately be truncated. Try changing
float m = (-1/781.5)*(cctr-4407.3);
There may be other sources of truncation in this formula that you might explore. Change the "-1" to "-1.0", and the "cctr" to "(float)cctr" - if necessary. At least from the human reviewer perspective, the intent is then more clear even if the compiler does the right thing.
