Why is this division not performed correctly?

Question

I\'ve a strange issue in Python: the division is not performed correctly:

print pointB[1]
print pointA[1]
print pointB[0]
print pointA[0]
print  (pointB[1]-         


        

Answer 1

It is done correctly.

50/60 = 0

Maybe you are looking for 50.0/60.0 = 0.83333333333333337, you can cast your variables to float to get that:

print  float(pointB[1]-pointA[1]) / (pointB[0]-pointA[0])
