Yes, I would say Python is more user-friendly in this particular example, although both outputs are correct. If I remember correctly, Python had an update in the area several years ago to make the output for floating-point numbers more user-friendly, (and at the same time maybe even more correct). But these are just choices of the implementers of the language, not characteristics of the language itself. -- Pieter van Oostrum <pie...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://piet.vanoostrum.org/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
