Division and type conversion.
How to do floor division in python.
Integer division returns the floor of the division.
In python 2 7 the operator works as a floor division for integer arguments.
The floor division operator will always return an integer value if the 2 operands that it takes be integers.
First output is fine but the second one may be surprising if we are coming java c world.
If you imagine a room where 3 is on the ceiling and 2 is on the floor.
Using to do division this way is deprecated.
If you want floor division use available in python 2 2 and later.
Integer values are precisely stored so they are safe to use in.
So 1 3 0 2 3 0 and 3 3 1.
Also referred to as integer division.
Integer division and float division.
Following is the syntax for floor method.
Floor division means the will always take the floor or the lower number.
The resultant value is a whole integer though the result s type is not necessarily int.
In python there are two kinds of division.
For python 2 x dividing two integers or longs uses integer division also known as floor division applying the floor function after division.
Floor division with operator note.
It is written as in python 3.
Import math math floor x note this function is not accessible directly so we need to import math module and then we need to call this function using math static object.
But for floor division in python 2 int int int to understand m.
Ordinary division with operator 2.
So for example 5 2 is 2.
Let us again consider the python equation.
8 5 1 6 but let us do things a little differently.
There are two types of division operations in python.
However the operator returns a float value if one of the arguments is a float this is similar to c.
8 5 1 in the above example we have now employed the floor division operator.
Python number method floor returns floor of x the largest integer not greater than x.
X this is a numeric expression.
That is the values after the decimal point are discarded.
2 5 would fit in the middle.
