((13 / 3 == 4) == true)
why is this equals true? 13/3 = 4.3333 and 4.333 is not equaled 4. Is it about auto cast into an integer? and round?
I tested it in Java EE 8.

*Integer* division: `13 / 3` is an integer. Put *floating point* in order to get floating point value: `13.0 / 3.0 == 4.3333....` – Dmitry Bychenko Nov 29 '18 at 11:59

That's because of integer math... – Thomas Nov 29 '18 at 11:59

It's not rounded but the decimals after the point are truncated eg `(int)4.6` is still `4`. – Mark Nov 29 '18 at 11:59

Because when you write 13 / 3 you have divided two integer, so the result is only int part, so 4.
In this way you have the next condition 4 == 4 is true
