The result is correct according to C type propagation rules and will be obtained with any C compiler. 100/1000 is calculated as integer division (result 0) and then converted to float.

You may want to write e.g.:

float32 a = 100.0/1000;
float32 a = 100/1000.0;
float32 a = float(100)/1000;

In any case, at least one of the numbers must be of the float type to cause a float division.

...
float32 a = [B][U]float[/U][/B](100)/1000;

...

This should be

float32 a = ((float)100)/1000;

(except if we write C++)

The other two, are both correct.

Yes, true indeed.

Typecast has higher priority than arithmetic operation, one pair of brackets can be omitted.
