Golang how can I multiply a integer and a float
go
Solution
If you want to multiply floats, you need to convert the number to a float:
height := int(float64(heightImg) * a)
width := int(float64(widthImg) * a)
Problem
I am trying to resize the dimensions of an image but am getting a constant 0.8 truncated to integer error on compile . This is my code ``` b := img.Bounds() heightImg := b.Max.Y // height of image in pixels widthImg := b.Max.X // width of image in pixels const a = .80 height := int(heightImg * a) // reduce height by 20% width := int(widthImg * a) // reduce width by 20% // resize image below which take in type int, int in the 2nd & 3rd parameter new_img := imaging.Resize(img,width,height, imaging.Lanczos) ``` I am new to golang but this code right here gives me the error ``` height := int(heightImg * a) width := int(widthImg * a) ``` any suggestions would be great
