No, its not correct in python. In python, you don't declare the type of a variable. You statement above would simply be NCases = 10.0 / 6.0 Note the float-literals! If you wouldn't use these, the result would not be ~1.6, but 1 instead, because integer division yields only integers. Depending on which version of python SPSS ships, you should be able to make the division-operator / enforce the usage of floats by putting from __future__ import division on top of your script.
