It will be 2. This is because 5 and 2 are both integer literals, so integer division will be performed. As per the definition of integers, there won't be any floating point component (any remainder will just be dropped). To get 2.5, at least one of them will need to be floating point literal, and the other will be implicitly converted. E.g., 5.0 or 2.0
