[Numpy-discussion] division operator

[andrew nelson]

>>> var1 = 10
>>> var2 = 100
>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.divide(var1,var2)
0
>>> np.divide(10,100 * 1.)
0.10000000000000001
>>> var1/var2
0
>>>var1*1./var2
0.1

> I have 2 variables, say var1=10,var2=100. To divide I do either divide(float(var1),float(var2)) or simply float(var1)/float(var2). I'm just wondering if there's a smarter way of doing this?
