Perhaps you can. :) 5/10

I don't know who can help you, but this is a Python newsgroup and if you
try your program in Python it prints 2, so perhaps you are using some other
language: a=10
b=5
print a/b
2
If you are using Python, try cutting and pasting the exact code and the
problem you think you see, and we can try to help you from there.

Works for me:

Python 2.4a0 (#25, May 22 2004, 15:16:21)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1493)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. a=10
b=5

2
I think you'll need to give more details (platform, version, actual
interpreter output, etc) to get any more useful help.

You probably have reversed a & b in your program somewhere. Zero is the
correct result with the numbers reversed. a = 10
b = 5
print "a/b = %s\nb/a = %s" % (a/b, b/a)
a/b = 2
b/a = 0
If you import division from __future__ my guess is that you will see the
result of 0.5. If this is the case you have mixed a & b up somewhere.
from __future__ import division
print "a/b = %s\nb/a = %s" % (a/b, b/a)
a/b = 2.0
b/a = 0.5
