the division operator returns a float when either of the operands are floats -- in this case math.pi is, so you don't have to worry about passing it 6.0 instead of 6 >>> import math >>> math.pi 3.1415926535897931 >>> math.pi / 6 0.52359877559829882 >>> type(math.pi) <type 'float'> >>> type(6) <type 'int'> >>> type(6.0) <type 'float'> mike On Thu, 3 Feb 2005 16:04:25 -0500, Jacob S. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >From what I understand, range() no longer allows you to use floats as > arguments.
