Why don't range and xrange threat floats as floats?
Is there any good reason range and xrange don't threat floats as floats but as
integers?
When I enter float arguments in a range, the floats are treated as integers. (+
some warning)
This is how I think it should work:
>>>range(0, 1, 0.1)
[0.0, 0.10000000000000001, 0.20000000000000001, 0.29999999999999999,
0.40000000000000002, 0.5, 0.59999999999999998, 0.69999999999999996,
0.80000000000000004, 0.90000000000000002]
I got these results by:
>>>[x/10. for x in xrange(10)]
I'm not looking for alternatives, just for the reason that it works this way.
