767 PointsWhy does 0.5 round to 0?
I was playing around with the code for this lesson and wanted to figure out the value with the smallest value that would result in 'a' in "Magic" when printing out user string.
One would assume that with: len(user_string = "Magic") and user_num = 0.1, ratio would equal 0.5 before rounding, thus having an index of 1 when it is rounded. However, it has an index of 0. So I was wondering why does Python (and other languages?) round 0.5 down and how would I find the smallest value of user_num to get a value of 1?
