Hi What would print((300/500) ) show on the screen ?
I’m getting 0.
Am I doing something wrong ?

That’s called “Integer division”. Because both numbers are integers, the result (0.6) is cast to integer as well, which results in 0.

If you want a float answer, at least one of the operands needs to be a float: print(300.0/500) or even print(float(300)/500)

Thank you so much Love your tutorials !!!
