Python (2.x) multiplication is not happening properly
<p>Here is the code ...</p>

<pre><code>a=4
b=8.0
if a and a &gt;0:
    a=a*int(b)
    print "Value:",a 
</code></pre>

<p>The desired o/p should be 32. i am also getting the same in python console. But the same code is present in my product where instead of 32 the out put is coming as 44444444 (eight fours) i.e whatever value i'am giving to multiply with "a" it is just printing that much a's. If you give 12 then twelve fours will print.</p>

<p>Any idea what is the problem ?</p>
