[ANSWERED]Still a bit confused on the difference between / and //

Question

I know it is a simple question with a simple answer. I am fluent in lua which deals with alot of math so I know I am just overthinking it. Thank you in advanced!

Answer 1

Hunter MacInnes

/ is normal division which returns value in float
// is floor division which returns value in int without decimal part

So 5 / 2 = 2.5
5 // 2 = 2

4 / 2 = 2.0
4 // 2 = 2

Answer 2

/ results in a float. its regular division

// returns an int. its division that disregards remainders.

ex.

11 / 2 == 5.5
11 // 2 == 5
