Please help a newbie
Was able to write and successfully run this but I can't seem to be able to
"save" it
Luckily I had saved it to Word and then I was able to copy and paste it back
into PyScripter.
I'm using
Python Scripter Version 2.5.3.0 x86
*** Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32. ***
*** Remote Python engine is active ***
>>>
>>> from decimal import *
>>> getcontext()
Context(prec=28, rounding=ROUND_HALF_EVEN, Emin=-999999999, Emax=999999999,
capitals=1, flags=[], traps=[DivisionByZero, InvalidOperation, Overflow])
>>> getcontext().prec=3 #change decimal precision to 3
decimal places
>>> for a in xrange(1,30): #NESTED note no matter what the variables are
the syntax is always xrange
... for b in xrange(1,30): #LOOPS DO 29 ITERATIONS
... c=pow(a,2)+pow(b,2) # this is really c squared
because a and b are raised to exponent 2
... h=pow(c,.5) #pow is .5 so h is the
square root of c ...h is the hypotenuse
... d=round(h,2)
... if a==1 and b==1: #will allow titles to be
printed at beginning of print out
... print "Side a","Side b","Hypotenuse"
... if h==d and d==h: #will eliminate all values of h
that are not integers from printout
... print" ",a,"\t",b,"\t\t",h #for alignment purpose "3
spaces " before a then tab b, and 2tabs ...
# before h
Side a Side b Hypotenuse
