My friend Jayesh suggested it is better to show individual growth rate than taking comparative performance, so here it is: print "Perl", (perld/float(perl1))*100 print "Python", (pythond/float(python1))*100 print "Ruby", (rubyd/float(ruby1))*100 print "PHP", (phpd/float(php1))*100 # Output:- # #Perl 9.79129090441 #Python 35.8277591973 #Ruby 3.46565847511 #PHP 5.2036199095 Regards, Baiju M _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
