Originally python evaluated 5 / 2 = 2 5.0 / 2.0 = 2.5
It's hard to write and read generic code with such semantics. It's easier when a // b always truncates and a / b never truncates Kari -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] By the way whats wrong with 5/2 = 2 ? _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs Other options: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/ActivePython
