Question

Can the following method be written any shorter (without semicolons) in Python in a way I have not seen?

@staticmethod
def __add(a, b):
    value = a + b
    if value > 1:
        integer = int(value)
        if value == integer:
            return 1.0
        return value - integer
    if value < 0:
        integer = int(value)
        if value == integer:
            return 0.0
        return value - integer + 1
    return value

The code is like % except that it allows the endpoint of whatever the code is modding the end value to.

Answer 1

return 1 - (-value%1) if value > 0 else value%1
