Tom Pohl added the comment: Thanks for your comments. From a technical/numerical point of view I agree with you that the computed result is correct given the floating-point limitations.
>From a user's point of view (and the documentation seems to agree with me) the >result is wrong. The documentation (see link in first post) says: [...] the >result is that of mathematical division with the ‘floor’ function applied to >the result. math.floor(1/0.1) returns the expected 10.0 and the doc says that the floor division should behave the same. If 9.0 for 1//0.1 is the correct result according to your definition of the floor division then I cannot think of a reasonable use case for the floor division. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16460> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
