Why is 10 / 2 5.0 not 5?

Question

Why is 10 / 2 5.0 not 5 if it has the meaning of divisor? (phyton)

Answer 1

ints and floats are different data types.

When you divide something, Python automatically makes the result a float - because it might have decimals, right?

If you don't want that, you can use // instead.

But if you then divide let's say 11 by 2, the result will be 5.

Answer 2

Like HonFu said
Python use float variables
If you want 5 you can do:

print(int(10/2))
