I am tring to output the answer to an equation where the answer is a real number. The problem is that when I output it, it is automatically truncated.
So, this:

print 8/5

would output a '1'. I also tried:

a#= 8/5
print a#

this also outputted a '1'. What is going on? Why does this:

a#=1.3243
print a#

output a real number, but my other examples don't? (i'm using just plain DB)
