I have some very basic calculations that simply don't work and I cannot figure out why.
while i < 6:
print(dice_faces[i])
print(number_of_faces)
print(float(dice_faces[i]/number_of_faces))
print(float(1/6))
dice_odds[i] = int(dice_faces[i])/int(number_of_faces)
i = i + 1
This prints out:
1
6
0.0
0.0
I have no clue why; just none.

it's because you're doing an integer division, then convering it to a float, instead of converting it to a float and then dividing
integer division throws out the fractional part, so if you do 1/6, you get ~0.1667, which, because it's integer division, gets rounded down to 0, which is then converted to a float 0.0

So should
while i < 6:
print(float(dice_faces[i]))
print(float(number_of_faces))
print(float(dice_faces[i]/number_of_faces))
print(float(1/6))
dice_odds[i] = int(dice_faces[i])/int(number_of_faces)```
work?no, because you're still dividing integers
you're just conerting the parts that you print to float

I’m a moron; thanks
