Hi, I'm PHP developer and entirely new to Python. I installed it (version 2.5.2, from Debian repos) today on the persuasion of a friend, who is a Python addict.
The first thing I typed into it was 3.2*3 (don't ask why I typed *that*, I don*t know, I just did). And the answer wasn't 9.6. Here it is: >>> 3.2*3 9.6000000000000014 So I became curious... >>> 3.21*3 9.629999999999999 >>> (3.2*3)*2 19.200000000000003 ... and so on ... After that I tried Windows version (3.1rc2), and... >>> 3.2*3 9.600000000000001 I wasn't particularly good in math in school and university, but I'm pretty sure that 3.2*3 is 9.6.
