One reason we do this is so that sage: 1/3 actually gives the rational number 1/3, rather than 0 (or some floating point approximation). Sage code is run through a preparser that wraps literals in Sage types. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
