[Tutor] Variable declaration

Perl has "use strict;" to force variable declaration. My insane Perl loving co-workers think it's evil that Python doesn't have variable declaration. =) What are some of the reasons/arguments on why Python doesn't need variable declaration? I've gotten around it in Python by using Pyflakes to

Re: [Tutor] Simple variable type question

You want to promote one of your variables to float before you do the calculation, this will make all other variables automatically cast. So (float(y2) - y1) / (x2-x1). if you do the float cast after the calculation, you will do the calculation as integers and so even though you'll get "2.0" you wo
