quick question. When dividing two variables of different types, is explicit
conversion via casting necessary for accuracy purposes, syntax purposes, or
both? Thanks

Generally not. However, if you do a floating divide in the middle of a
sea of int divides or vice versa, you might point that out with a
nugatory cast.
