Hi Anthony. The nosetests are the official unit tests written for the assignments. They try to ensure that you've correctly interpreted the instructions for, for example, in Task 15 you were supposed to create a decimal variable which you did, but our trickly little test caught something:

https://128.228.53.195/job/is210-02-lesson-02-pr/39/testReport/test_task_15/L02T15TestCase/test_decimalvar/

If you interpret the result it shows something that looks suspiciously like a floating point number. When I look in numtypes.py I can see that you used a floating point number to instantiate your Decimal. The construction of a true decimal would use a string representation passed to Decimal().

That's why we have the unit tests; to help hide the things that may seem like they're working ok on the cli.
