Print (float(1/3)) gives you your answer of 0.333 recurring You need to make the answer a float. Integers divided by integers always result in integers

its integer type, so it will give you zero if the result was decimal

no, float(1/3) will not give 0.333 it will give output 0.0... float (1)/3 will give 0.333, in the above case float statement is converting 1/3 to float while in second case it is converting 1 to float then division occurs.. 1/3 is int type that's why it will give output as 0..
