How do I show decimal calculations in python?

When I do a division in Python/Pandas (e.g. 47/100) how do I show
the decimal value of the answer, because at the moment it just shows as
0?

Thanks in
advance.

Answer

If you're using python2.x, you need to
"floatify"¹ one of your
numbers:

float(47)/100
47.0/100

As
python2.x will do integer division if both numbers in the division are
integers.
