Python: Cannot write out floats in for loop

Question

This is the code that I am running:

for x in range(0,90):
   print (x*(5/90))

for some reason, all it prints out are 0's. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Answer 1

What's happening is that it is figuring that you really want Integers. Try change it to be:

print(x*(5.0/90))

Answer 2

try this instead

for x in range(0,90):
    print (5.* x/90))

Answer 3

in python dividing an int by another int give an int so to get the float result you can simply add a ".0" behind any integer to avoid casting.

change it by

           for x in range(0,90): print (x*(5/90.0))

Answer 4

This should work:

for x in range(0,90): print (x*(5/90.0))

Python is interpreting the numbers as integers and therefore the result is 0
