Thanks very much
I've noticed that the eval() function gives an integer, so eval("3/2")
gives back 1. float(eval("3/2")) doesn't seem to work, any way to get a
floating point number back with eval()?
I know you can just do ("3./2."), but is there any way to do it with
just ("3/2")?
If you are using a current version of Python, the line:
from __future__ import division
will make division with the "/" return a float; you then use "//" for
integer division....
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> eval("3/2")
1.5
>>> eval("3//2")
1
