Please launch a terminal window, copy this command exactly into the terminal
and hit ENTER. You should have a $ or maybe % prompt for this to work.

python3.5 -c "volume = 257.148345678; print(round(volume, 2))"

(Do you need help opening a terminal window? If so, ask. We'll need to know
your operating system, and if you are using Linux, which desktop environment
you are using.)

If your prompt is ">>>" (without the quotes) or something similar to "In [1]:"
then copy these two lines to the prompt and hit ENTER:

volume = 257.148345678
print(round(volume, 2))

Either way, reply here with the output. Make sure you copy it.
