Python returns 0 for all my divisions (even when using float())

Question

I'm using Spyder (Python 2.7)

Any division that would return a value below 1 returns 0.

When I use float(5/10) it returns 0.0

When I use: '%.11f'%a after defining a = 10/20 it still returns 0.000000000..

I'm really new to Python, I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.

How do I fix this? Thank you

It is. I will delete the post. Thank you for the quick help! — Cedric Oeldorf, Sep 06 '15 at 10:39
If you actually want to use `float`, you need to do it as `float(5)/10`. — michaelrccurtis, Sep 06 '15 at 10:42

Very noob.

For this to work one must just import:

from __future__ import division
