Others have already explained how to do floating-point rather than integer division. I'm curious to know why you're basing the if tests on the length of the number as a string rather than on the magnitude of the number. Consider for example an input of 0.01. Converted to a string, that is "0.01" which has a length of 4. So the output would be "de weerstand is 0.00001 kilo ohm", which is probably not what you would desire. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
