"Cast" to int in Python 3.4 -

i writing simple game in python 3.4. totally new in python. code below:

def shapeat(self, x, y):     return self.board[(y * board.boardwidth) + x]

throws error:

typeerror: list indices must integers, not float

for have found may happen when python "thinks" list argument not integer. have idea how fix that?

int((y * board.boardwidth) + x) use int nearest integer towards zero.

def shapeat(self, x, y):     return self.board[int((y * board.boardwidth) + x)] # give floor value.

and floor value use math.floor(by of m.wasowski)

math.floor((y * board.boardwidth) + x)
