| On IDLE 3.0b1 (Windows XP SP3): - type 2/5 you'll get 0.40000000000000002 instead of 0.4 - type 4/5 you'll get 0.80000000000000004 instead of 0.8 | ||

| This is normal, and due to the floating point representation of numbers. Please see http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#why-are-floating-point-calculations-so-inaccurate |
