Integer v float - Python
If you had f failures in s samples, what proportion failed? .6666666666 you might correctly say - but Python might not come up with that answer if you have two integer counts >>> s = 6And that gives: >>> f/sWill that be better if we turn it into percentages? >>> f*100/sYes - somewhat better but still inaccurate - the real solution is to convert one of the operands into a float: >>> f*100/float(s) (written 2007-11-12) Associated topics are indexed under Y102 - Python - Fundamentals[3551] Some terms used in programming (Biased towards Python) - (2011-12-12) [3278] Do I need to initialise variables - programming in C, C++, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby or Java. - (2011-05-05) [3181] Beware - a=a+b and a+=b are different - Python - (2011-02-23) [3083] Python - fresh examples from recent courses - (2010-12-11) [2778] Learning to program in Python 2 ... and / or in Python 3 - (2010-05-24) [2442] Variable storage - Perl, Tcl and Python compared - (2009-10-08) [2368] Python - fresh examples of all the fundamentals - (2009-08-20) [1878] Pascals Triangle in Python and Java - (2008-11-10) [1461] Python - input v raw input - (2007-12-06) [1448] Question on division (Java) - Also Perl, PHP, Python ... - (2007-11-28) [956] Python security - trouble with input - (2006-11-30) [748] Getting rid of variables after you have finished with them - (2006-06-06) [633] Copying a reference, or cloning - (2006-03-05) [328] Making programs easy for any user to start - (2005-05-29)

Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
