Actually you don't need to use the syntax of float(1.1) above. Just
use 1.1, any time you put a float into your operation the result will

Hey, you're right! I'm pretty sure this used to be different in version
??? (i've used dir for more time than I care to remember)
Never noticed it had changed.
it's always been this way - I've never used float - I just multiply by
1.0
Me too. My guess is that the original posts use of float() appeared when
doing division
put 3/2
--1
put 3/float(2)
--1.5000
and then just got incorporated into other math functions. But adding that
good ol decimal place is enough to guarentee float results
put 3/2.0
--1.5000
