"In a dynamically typed language 201/2 will give you 100.5"
Not necessarily. Python gives 100, PHP gives 100.5, Perl gives 100.5, Ruby gives 100.
Edit: Versions are Python 2.7.3, PHP 5.3.10, Perl 5.14.2 and Ruby 1.8.7, all as shipped with Ubuntu Precise.
- archangel_one 14y agoPython 3 gives 100.5. Python 2 gives 100 (or 100.5 if you use "from __future__ import division").
- fjh 14y agoBut using >> for division is still a bad idea. If you want integer division, use //.
