I'm trying to create an accuracy value. If a player misses the target, their total value increases by 1, and if they hit the target, their total and hit values increase by 1. To get the accuracy, it's basic math, right? I can't get any acc from this:


Ideally, this would give acc a value between 0 and 100. But acc only returns 0 if total > hit and 100 if total < hit. Why won't a hit value of 8 and a total value of 10 make acc = 80?

I believe it does the multiplication before the division. So you should put (hit/total) * 100.

It's the same with the parenthesis as without.

Ok, i think you just need to set them all as floats. because they are integers. then just round off acc using int() to get an even percentage.

It works, but only after I removed the initial declaration of variables.



Thanks!
