setExp Calculation Problems

I am having trouble manipulating my experience bar. Well, not so much so that I can't change it, but for something I can't figure out my calculations keep failing.

Here's what I have so far:

Code:

System.out.print("Current: " + player.getExp());
System.out.print("Calculation: " + (player.getExp() - (5 / player.getExpToLevel())));
System.out.print("Equation: " + 5 / player.getExpToLevel());
System.out.print("player.getExpToLevel(): " + player.getExpToLevel());
player.setExp(player.getExp() - (5 / player.getExpToLevel()));

Say we have a scenario where the experience bar is full and at level 0. This puts the player.getExp() at 1. So this is what the console outputs:

Code:

Current: 1.0
Calculation: 1.0
Equations: 0
player.getExpToLevel(): 17

Which I find strange because 5 / 17 should be .294117... not 0. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong to make the equation 5 / player.getExpToLevel to keep printing out 0?

 

Cast this expression to float. Otherwise it will be handled like an integer and truncated to 0.
