5 / 2 = 2.5 float

5 // 2 = 2 integer

Answer 3

Python simply lets you declare a variable without any need of telling the data type. If you declare a variable like
x = 10
then it is an integer, as the compiler itself understand. But if you work upon it using division,
x=x/4
The answer is 2.5 and the compiler itself converts it to the required type that is float, unlike other languages like C++ where it rounds it off to make it an integer.

So, that should not be a problem.

If you want to get an integer as a result, you can convert it explicitly.
