Decimal Places Incorrect

[Tom Haddon]

Hi Folks,

When I run:

print "%0.2f" % ((16160698368/1024/1024/1024),)

I get 15.00

I should be getting 15.05. Can anyone tell me why I'm not?

Thanks, Tom

Short answer: Integer division.

Long answer: Integer division.

16160698368/1024 = 15781932L
15781932L/1024 = 15412
15412/1024 = 15

Fix:15.05

Because you forgot to use "from __future__ import division".
