That still does not work, because the 'float' comes after the
division. 3/2 equals 1, so float(3/2) equals 1.0. To make it work,
you'll have to put the float inside the division:

I make these silly programs to learn from examples I find on the list. I put
a couple together just to practice. I have heard it is not a good idea to

comments are welcome. Thanks
david,

nr1 = input('Enter value: ')

the nr0 and then print the result.
I can see that there is a problem with a variable looking like pn0123
