It's Comp. Sci. 101, based on third grade artithmetic, not Python. 5/2=2 is integer division, that's the way integer arithmetic works. 5./2.=2.5 is floating point math, with all the round off errors that incorporates. If Matlab assumes floating point, then that's what you're paying the big bucks for. Curtis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
