Python code showing wrong output.

Why does this code show wrong output for large values of a? https://code.sololearn.com/c49KT4i04QC9/?ref=app

Line 7: a //= 10 # use floor division for integral result

Ipang Yes, It is working fine now. Thank you. But i am not able to understand why is int(a/b) different from a//b.

Shivansh, Simply because / results in float value, whereas // results in int value. When extracting digits that way, we don't want float value from division, just int value. Although // can also result in float when one or more of the operands were float. https://www.sololearn.com/learn/JUMP_LINK__&&__Python__&&__JUMP_LINK/4430/
