public static double Fraction2Decimal(int Numerator, int Denominator)
{
    double Answer = Numerator / Denominator;
    return Answer;
}

public static void main(String args[])
{
    double ans = Fraction2Decimal(2, 8);

    double pi = 3.141592653589793238462643383;
    System.out.print(ans);
}

What this code is doing is converting fractions to a decimal/double, 2/8 as a decimal is 0.25 as everyone knows but IntelliJ IDE returns this 

0.0
Process finished with exit code 0

Huh! its should return 0.25, could anyone explain what is going on here?

EDIT: I only did by just to check that the type was to short for the answer.

Because you are dividing to ints, that can only produce an int. And on division, they get floored (rounded to the lower integer). Try casting them to double o float before doing the operation.
