Correct a mistake

Report a typo

The code below solves the following problem — having the numerator and the denominator of a fraction, check if the fraction equals 0.5. The program should print True or False. If the denominator equals 0, the answer is False.

def compare(numerator, denominator):
    return denominator and numerator / denominator == 0.5


a = int(input())
b = int(input())

print(compare(a, b))

But this code works incorrectly. Find and correct the mistake, then run the code.

Sample Output 1: 

True

Sample Input 2:
