Answer 3

# Hi, Amirreza Amiri !

# If you want to work with decimal numbers, and it is important for
# you to get correct decimal answers, then you can use Decimal from the
# decimal module:

from decimal import Decimal
x = Decimal('5')
y = Decimal('1.07')
print(x*y)
# gives: 5.35

# N.B. The numbers are in quotes (are strings), like ”1.07” .

Is there any way to get the 5.35 output? I only need two decimals.
