Below is a short segment from a module I’ve written. Before the part shown below, temp and Cutoff are defined. then comes the following:
blank='-'
if temp>Cutoff:
print 'temp is', temp
print 'cutoff is', Cutoff
print 'symbol is', symbol
InfoCollector.append(symbol)
else:InfoCollector.append(blank)
the print out shows that temp=0.261 and Cutoff is 0.29498. Clearly temp is smaller than Cutoff, so it should have gone to ‘else:’ but it didn’t. In fact, no matter if temp is larger or smaller than Cutoff, it always goes through the ‘if’ segment.
If I change the sign to ‘<‘, then it always goes to the ‘else’ regardless of the values of temp and Cutoff and never goes through the ‘if’ segment.
When I write a short program to try to duplicate the problem everything works normally.
Baffled,
Kirk
