// is floor division in python. It finds the quotient when 2 numbers are divided. The catch is it must me a whole number and can have a remainder In this case 20 // 6 has quotient 3 and remainder 2. In other words floor division floors (rounds off to the nearest interest lesser or equal to it) the quotient. In real division, 20 ÷ 6 = 3.333333...... but in floor division 3.3333... gets floored and becomes 3 and remainder is then 2. (as 3 × 6 +2 = 20) Extra info: The opposite of flooring is ceiling. Ceiling rounds the number to the nearest integer greater or equal to it.

No, it is not the same as % YUGABDH PASHTE 20%6 = 2 20//6 is integer division. Meaning everything after the decimal point gets cropped. Also known as floor division like S. C. mentioned

x//y simply means ignore the fractional part but give me the whole number part. ==> 20//6 == 3.
