In 2027, WPILib has a compiler plugin that will throw a compile-time error if someone tries to do this.
So, make it an int instead (and let people know that regular java doesn't error when you do integer division like this).

Even though it will throw an error, I still think it's valuable to showcase what happens here to better explain why there's an error and why it's problematic. Plus, I don't want to include something that's wrong in normal java, even if wpilib makes it not wrong, in a way.

Do you mean converting quotient1 to an int is wrong, or that keeping it as a double is wrong in normal Java?

I meant keeping it as a double, my bad.
My main concern is that this code doesn't pass CI (also, y'all got it backwards: it's wrong in WPILib java, but not in normal java).
