How do numbers work in Python?
<p>So, I open terminal.</p>

<pre><code>&gt; python
&gt; 1 / 3
0
&gt; 1.0 / 3
0.33333333333333331
</code></pre>

<p>Could someone tell me what the rules are when it comes to decimals. Does it matter which number when being divided carries the decimal? Is there a best practice?</p>

<p>If I want more decimal points, or less for that matter, do I need to use a function?</p>
