You don't actually say what you find weird about your output, so I had to look at it for a while before coming up with something. I'm guessing it's how the division is behaving?
`randint` returns a Python int: sage: randint(1, 10) 7 sage: type(randint(1, 10)) <type 'int'> And division of Python ints is truncating: sage: int(7)/int(10) 0 Unlike where Sage capital-I integers are involved in the division: sage: Integer(7)/Integer(10) 7/10 sage: Integer(7)/int(10) 7/10 IOW, Python integer division behaves as "//", not "/". One way to deal with the problem would be to wrap the results of randint with a call to ZZ (the Sage Integer ring): sage: a = randint(1,10); b = randint(1, 10) sage: a, b, a/b (3, 5, 0) sage: a = ZZ(randint(1,10)); b = ZZ(randint(1, 10)) sage: a, b, a/b (5, 6, 5/6) Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
