How do I get a floating point out of a division in inline script?
It seems like divisions in the inline script are all floor divisions (no decimals) and I was wondering how to make them true divisions (with decimals). I am using OS 3.1.9 and python 2.7.12. I have already read that it is difficult to make true divisions in python two, but I have found some workarounds online and none of them work on my inline script. Any idea what to do? What I have found is:
Get Python 3 division behavior in any given module with the following import at the top:
from future import divisiontruediv from the operator module operator.truediv(a, b),
a / (b * 1.0).
a / float(b).
None of them work.
Comments
EDIT: I am not sure what I was doing wrong before, but now at least truediv(a, b) works.
Hi Andrea,
Just so that no-one gets confused about this: All of the above options are valid ways to perform a
floatdivision in Python 2.So if you don't end up with a
float, then the reason lies somewhere else. For example, if you set experimental variables (var.my_variable = 1.0), this will automatically change the value to the simplest fitting type. So thefloat1.0 will become theint1. Is that what's going on perhaps?Cheers,

Yes, I think that this may have been the problem.
Thank you!
