[PD] Expr does not play well with ints?

Hey all,

So I've been doing lots of calculations with expr and creation arguments, and it seems to send an int when it should send a float way too often:

[expr 8 / 20]

returns 0!!!

See attached patch.

Have I lost my mind? Is my machine going crazy? or is expr actually doing what I see here?

I cringe at the idea of doing these calculations with separate [*] [/] [+] [-] objects...

Thanks, B. Bogart
