The issue seems the way that floats deal with division by 0. The expression 0.06/0 gets evaluated as (0.06)/(0.000) and apparently that gets evaluated as +infty. If that gets raised to 0, you get 1. If you instead write (6/100) / 0 you do get a division by 0 exception. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
