[Tutor] Division operation

[Miguel Estrada]

Hi there,

I'm new to Python and programming in general.

This is the function I am writing:


def function():
    x = int(raw_input("Enter value of x: "))
    y = int(raw_input("Enter value of y: "))
    z = x / y
    print "The value of z is", z, "unit of measurement"


Now, say, user input:

x = 200
y = 1000

The value returned will be '0'.

My question: What is the proper way of writing the operation so that if
z = x /y, the result would be '0.20' instead of just '0'?


TIA.
