Answer 1

You wrote a question further down... but I don't understand it... can you try to explain or show an example?

Answer 3

thank you ! will do

Answer 4

So to be clear, the home screen on this app, the center button “feed” is the perosnal feed you are referring to?

and my question was on the intro ro python , it was explaining using integers 7 and 7.0 for example - so i was confused as to when do you add the .0 to the number and why?

Answer 5

Yeah, right at the top should be your name, right? And below that: 'Share your thoughts'. That's where you click to post (not too ;-)) personal stuff.

Basically, in programming languages there are floats and ints; they are different datatypes, and depending on the situation you may need the one or the other. But there is also 'type conversion'.

If you divide 5 by 2, normally it is 2.5, right?

In computers that is not necessarily the case. For example in C, if you divide integer 5 by integer 2, the result will be 2 - the remainder is cut off.

But Python makes an auto-conversion whenever you divide, even when there's no remainder. So 4 / 2 will be 2.0.

You will understand this better with practice.

Answer 6

Wow, this is amazing! Thank you HonFu

Answer 7

Yes, in beginning and when I learn something new, that clearls many things about programming.

Answer 8

yes!

Answer 9

curious.. why does 7 not enter but 7.0 does and how come ehen entered into equation you CAN use 7.. like 7*5.0 ect..?

Answer 10

john vincent, quite cool indeed. ;-)

This is a place to ask programming-related questions though...

You got a personal feed here, too, where you can put posts like this one.
