marketdickinson> (2) Accuracy I see int/float like bytes/characters: it's not a good idea to mix them. If you use float, you know that you loose precision (digits) after some operations. Whereas I suppose the operations on int are always exact. I like round(int,int)->int (same input/output types). To get a float, use round(float(int), int)->float.
