What is the difference between module operator (//) and normal division (/).

Both shows the quotient. Is it that one returns float and other integer.

Modulus operator returns the remainder of x%y while the divisor returns to result of dividing x/y. Meaning that modulus is really neat to use for wrapping around numbers that make it useful for indentation and several other features in graphics programming. Divison is simply a mathematical Division. Therefore modulus operator is used only when you require the remainder of dividing x by y (x/y). E.g. 7%3 = 1 and 7/3 = 2.333...
