Re: Division-bug in a beginner's script

z=.4

  You need:

z = ".4"
nen = "7"

  . Here's an script:

import decimal

z=0.4
nen=7
decimal.getcontext().prec=60
print(decimal.Decimal(z)/decimal.Decimal(nen),end=' ');print(f"decimal: {z}/{nen}")

z='0.4'
nen='7'
decimal.getcontext().prec=60
print(decimal.Decimal(z)/decimal.Decimal(nen),end=' ');print(f"decimal: {z}/{nen}")

  . Before you go off half-cocked and start throwing shade about
  a Python library in your subject line, maybe you oughta hit
  the books and get your ducks in a row first
