I think that this question has also been asked multiple times so if you had searched you would have found the answer that way too.

Answer 4

That's the floor division.
5 // 2 = int(5 / 2) = 2

Answer 5

Run this in your IDE.
a = 5/2 # 2.5
print(a, type(a))
b = 5//2 # 2..... as the .5 is removed
print(b, type(b))

Answer 6

// is floor division. It will divide the first number by the second number but will round it down if it is not an integer. It does the same as int(5/2), where it does 5/2 but forces it to become an integer. And as I'm sure you know, integers can only be whole numbers. Therefore, 5//2=int(5/2)=2, but 5/2=2.5. I hope this helps! :D
