I'm guessing that would probably be C++. Or

Dynamic typing isn't referring to numeric type coercion. It refers to
the fact that a name can be bound to an object of any type. So if you
made a function like this:

So for values of s=60 and k=50, the first code returns 0.1823215567939546
(on the PC), whereas the second returns 0.0 (on the Mac). This this
expression is evaluated in the numerator, it never returns a divide by
zero erro
Ah, there may well be something in that. Definitely post the code and
outputs; chances are someone'll spot the difference.
Ok, I *think* I found the source of the difference:
This is the base code that runs fine in v 3.3.0 (the output is correct):
def Numer(s, k):
return math.log(s / k)
s =

It's not impossible that there is a slight difference in some of the
floating point functions. E.g. when you call math.log(s), one v

If your input has no decimal point in it, eval (or input) will return
an integer, not a float. Other than that, I can't see any obvious
reason for there to be a difference. Can you put together a simple
script that demonstrates the problem and post it, along with the exact
input that you're giving
Highly unlikely. I'd say impossible, unless you type a different value for
x
of course. By the time the input() function returns, the result is already
a float. Wrapping it in float() again cannot possibly change the value. If
you have found a value that does change, please tell us what it is.

raw_input() takes a line from the keyboard (handwave) and returns it

input() in 2.X takes a line from the keyboard and evaluates it as a
Python expression.
float() takes a string, float, int, etc, and returns the
nearest-equivalent floating point value.

Depends on what you type in.
