Is there any rule that quotient must be integer only ?

Question

when 1.25%0.5 the result is 0.25.
since both of them are float, can't its quotient become float?

one more thing when i tried 1.25/0.5 i got NO OUTPUT why?

Answer 1

/ gives you quotient in flot with remainder 0
// gives you quotient in only in integer
% gives you remainder.
4/2 : 2
4//2 : 2
4%2 : 0

5/2 : 2.5
5//2 : 2
5%2 : 1
