Unfortunately, you've paraphrased the error message enough that we can not reproduce the problem. Since you're emailing on your phone, you may want to reply when you're in front of your compute and are in a position to do some copy-and-pasting. Please copy and paste exactly what your entire program looks like. Please copy and paste the exact contents of the error message and the surrounding lines. Also, please say what you expected your program to do. For example, let's pretend that I'm seeing a problem in my own program. Here's how I'd ask for help: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm seeing the following error in my program: >>> percent(1, 0) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "<stdin>", line 2, in percent ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero Here is my program: ####################### def percent(part, whole): return part / whole ####################### I expected to see infinity here, but I'm seeing this error instead. Can you help explain what I can do to get this value? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That is, show the error message, show the program content, and most importantly, try to say what you expected to see. It may be obvious to you what should happen, but sometimes it isn't obvious! Here, in this example, I'm pretending to be a crazy person who believes in infinity. :P And that information is useful, because there actually is a way of getting such a value: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7781260/how-can-i-represent-an-infinite-number-in-python. If I left that part out, the answers I get from other people might be entirely different or miss this possibility altogether. Good luck to you. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
