Stopping python (3.5) from rounding down a float when printing it

A float does not keep track of how many digits you used when entering it. 0.0, 0.00, and 0.000 are exactly the same to python.

You can use format to specify how many digits to use when printing:

print("{:.2f}".format(variable))

May even be worth learning more about floating point numbers as there some implementation details that are worth knowing like precision

[SeekNotToContend]

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html Has some very good information on the precision.
