Illegal! Wow. Didn't think learning to programme was that serious.

exception == illegal (by Python laws, of course, not by Her Majesty's Tongue

I have just shown you how Confused

. Take a look again at my example

PS You need a float value to format it as a float. str(value) creates a string

Test everything in a Python shell (iPython, Azure Notebook, etc.)

Someone gave you an advice you think is bad? Test it before arguing - maybe it was good.
You posted a claim that something you did not test works? Be prepared to eat your hat.
