To be precise, Python created a *new* float from the int, leaving the
original int alone. Because ints and floats are objects, if Python

This is design fla

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 th

yes
you can also try:
>>> float(a)/b
0.1

Remember Python is dynamically typed. Values have types, but variables
don't (I could do a = "foo" at t
