This seems sort of odd to me: >>> a = 1 >>> a += 1.202 >>> a 2.202
Indicates that 'a' was an int that was implicitly casted to a float. But: >>> a = 1 >>> b = 3 >>> a / b 0 This does not implicitly do the casting, it treats 'a' and 'b' as integers, and the result as well. Changing 'b' to 3.0 will yield a float as a result (0.33333333333333331) Is there some way to explain the consistency here? Does python implicitly change the casting when you add variables of a different numeric type? Anyway, just curiosity more than anything else.
