package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)

func main() {
    a, b := 2, 3
    x := 1.0 * a / b
    fmt.Println(x)
    fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(1.0 * 2 / 3))
    fmt.Println(1.0 * 2 / 3)
}

Output:

0
float64
0.6666666666666666

How is it that the first output is not equal to the third?

I expected that given that * has precedence over /, the expressions 1.0 * a will be resolved first and will result in a float64 which will then be multiplied by b resulting in a float64 as well.
