Converting Int to Float without Rounding in F#

I have code like this in F#

let fun a b=
  let mutable x1=float 0
  <some stuff>
   x1r<- -a/b

let main argv
    let  a=Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine()) 
    let  b=Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine())
fun a b

And i have problem with converting -a/b to float. I tried oldschool *1.0f, and few other tricks, but none of them worked. Is there any way to convert this like that, or do i have to write it another way?

Your question is not very clear but it looks like to me that you are dividing two int and expect that converting the result to a float would keep the fractional part but, when you divide two ints, you get back an int and converting it to a float cannot bring back the fractional part.

You should either convert both a and b to float before performing the division (float -a) / (float b) or, to begin with, read float values from the console with Console.ReadLine() |> float.
