2 3 first output is fine but the second one may be surprising if we are coming java c world.
Python 2 7 floor division.
But if one of the operands is negative the result is floored i e rounded away from zero towards negative infinity 9 2 4 and 9 0 2 0 4 0 11 3 4 11 0 3 4 0.
Division works differently in python 2 and 3.
10 3 1 11 3 2 floor division.
In python the modulo operator simply yields the remainder.
The above example of 2 3 which gives 0 in python 2 shall be used as 2 3 0 or 2 0 3 or 2 0 3 0 to get 0.
In python 2 7 the operator works as a floor division for integer arguments.
Floor division the division of operands where the result is the quotient in which the digits after the decimal point are removed.
The result is that of mathematical division with the floor function applied to the result.
Floor division with operator note.
Floor division in python figure 1.
To get a float result in python 2 without floor rounding we can specify one of the operands with the decimal point.
The division and floor division operators yield the quotient of their arguments.
Also referred to as integer division.
Floor division is also used to carry out euclidean division but unlike the modulo operator floor division yields the quotient not the remainder.
So for example 5 2 is 2.
The resultant value is a whole integer though the result s type is not necessarily int.
However the operator returns a float value if one of the arguments is a float this is similar to c.
But for floor division in python 2 int int int to understand m.
The dividend and the divisor.
To give you another example 11 3 gives us a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 2.
Plain or long integer division yields an integer of the same type.
With floor division one number the dividend is divided by another number.
The numeric arguments are first converted to a common type.
In python 2 3 and later.
Using to do division this way is deprecated.
If you want floor division use available in python 2 2 and later.
Division and type conversion.
The floor division operator is an example of a binary operator as it takes two operands.
The rounding towards zero behavior was deprecated in python 2 2 but remains in python 2 7 for the sake of backward compatibility and was removed in python 3.
Ordinary division with operator 2.
