This is extremely weird, I think.Here is a tiny program: from math import * from Numeric import * x=[0]*10 for counter in rangelen((x)): x[counter]=counter*0.1 print x Here is what I get: [0.0, 0.10000000000000001, 0.20000000000000001, 0.30000000000000004, 0.40000000000000002, 0.5, 0.60000000000000009, 0.70000000000000007, 0.80000000000000004, 0.90000000000000002] What on Earth is going on with those decimals at the end? Is this a floating point thing?
You can find the answer in the Python FAQ (although it is not a Python thing): http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#why-are-floating-point-calculations-so-inaccurate Sincerely, Albert _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
