Issue
How do I prevent converting a Decimal
to an int
while doing math (executing functions like //
or *
) in Python?
To get the input as a decimal number, I am using Decimal
from the decimal
module.
When I do
from decimal import Decimal
foo = Decimal(input())
And input 3.8
, it outputs 3.8
, which is right. However, when I add a mathematical function, like
print (foo // 2)
to my code, it outputs 1
, whereas it's supposed to output 1.4
.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening, as the program that I am making depends on decimals.
Solution
Don’t use //
, just use /
. //
is floor division. This divides and returns the integer value of the quotient. It dumps the digits after the decimal.
