Integer division and float division.
Python divide by float giving floor.
For python 2 x dividing two integers or longs uses integer division also known as floor division applying the floor function after division.
Ordinary division with operator 2.
In python 2 7 the operator works as a floor division for integer arguments.
That is the values after the decimal point are discarded.
In python there are two kinds of division.
Floor division in python figure 1.
The modulo operator works the same way yielding an integer if both operands were integers.
In fact in all of our examples the result was an integer.
If either operand is a float both modulo and floor division will yield a floating point number.
So for example 5 2 is 2.
Integer division returns the floor of the division.
So 1 3 0 2 3 0 and 3 3 1.
Division and type conversion.
In python the floor division operator consists of two forward slashes.
Using to do division this way is deprecated.
However the operator returns a float value if one of the arguments is a float this is similar to c.
The dividend and the divisor.
Division works differently in python 2 and 3.
There are two types of division operations in python.
The floor division operator is an example of a binary operator as it takes two operands.
If you want floor division use available in python 2 2 and later.
But for floor division in python 2 int int int to understand m.
It is written as in python 3.
This is completely different to standard division in python which always yields a float.
