I have run the following code snippet:
#Physics Equations
#Default_Variables
default_path = 10000
default_time = 18000
default_ini_vel = 1
default_acceleration = 1
#Variables
path = default_path
time = default_time
ini_vel = default_ini_vel
acceleration = default_acceleration
#Compute
avg_spd = path / time
velocity = (ini_vel + (acceleration * time))
#Prints
print("Average Speed = " + str(avg_spd))
print("Velocity = " + str(velocity))
I have expected the code to return a float type value for average speed containing many decimal places. The output for average speed equals 0. Why?
As others have already observed, the most likely culprit is avg_spd = path / time. In Py2 this is integer division, and the result gets rounded down to the nearest integer. In Py3 this behaviour has changed, and returns the perhaps more intuitive floating-point result.
You can get this 'new' behaviour in Py2 as well, by importing,
from __future__ import division
Above your code.
