What Alan meant, presumably, was this: one = 1 other = 42 result = float(one)/other Otherwise the code simply gives 0.0 rather than 0, when we want ~0.0238. Note that it doesn't matter which one you convert to a float, as long as one of them is. =Tony.Meyer _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
