I got a different result for my equation than the video?

So I tried the same equation he did in the video: .01 + .01 +.01 - .03 but my return was 0.0 instead of the exponential number his was returning in the video. Wondering why this would be?

Hi Holly! Welcome to Python, could maybe provide some of your code so that we can more effectively help? Be sure to use the Markdown Cheatsheet when providing code that it's formatted in a way we can easily read it. You'll find the cheatsheet at the bottom of the text area.

I believe it's just a typo and you have to put the . behind the 0: 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 - 0.3

Good luck!

You're right, it was just a typo on my end. Thank you!
