There are two problems here. First str() truncates the length of the output to make it look nicer. Second your version of PI has too many decimal places for a floating point to hold. Flosting point numbers can hold a huge range of numbers but not a huge precision. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
