What does this mean //?

Question

python

Answer 1

difference BTW / and //

1. 7/2=3.5 (returns floating point)

2. 7//2=3 (returns whole number i.e integer)

Answer 2

To be technically correct this returns an integer *next lowest* to the division result. This is important to understand why it behaves a little weird for negative numbers:

34 // 7 == 4
34 // -7 == -5
-34 // 7 == -5
-34 // -7 == 4

Answer 3

It is floor division ,in python

Answer 4

It stands for floor division, it returns the greatest divisor of an integer. For instance

print(34//6)

The output will be 5, because 6*5=30, and it will remove the remainder, which is 4.

Answer 5

the // means a number without a decimal place at the end
