Hello, I am a python beginner currently learning from "Learn python the hard way". I'm stuck at exercise 3 and I would like if it's possible to get some help so I can move on. Here is the source code:
1 print "I will now count my chickens:" 2 print "Hens", 25 + 30 /6 3 print "Roosters", 100 - 25 * 3 % 4 #Output is 97 4 print "Now I will count the eggs:" 5 print 3 + 2 + 1 - 5 + 4 % 2 - 1 / 4 + 6 #Output needs to be 6,83 but Python give me 7 6 print "Is it true that 3 + 2 < 5 - 7? " 7 print 3 + 2 < 5 - 7 8 print "What is 3 + 2?", 3 + 2 9 print "What is 5 - 7?", 5-7 10 print "Oh, that's why it's False." 11 print "How about some more. " 12 print "Is it greater?", 5 > -2 13 print "Is it greater or equal?", 5 >= -2 14 print "Is it less or equal?", 5 <= -2 The author says " Notice the math seems “wrong”? There are no fractions, only whole numbers. Find out why by researching what a “floating point” number is." I have to rewrite it to use floating point numbers so it's more accurate. I have read the lines of code and only line 3 and 5 needs to be changed. I came up with: print "Roosters", 100 - float(25) * 3 % 4 This is for line 3 so it is more precised. Is it correct what I did? What do I have to do for line 5? Thanks in advance! Regards, amt.
