The result is that of mathematical division with the floor function applied to the result.
Impletemt true division and floor division in coco.
A b returns the integer division value and a b 0 is a checking condition which returns 1 if we have any remainder left after the division of a b else it returns 0.
If you want floor division use available in python 2 2 and later.
2 3 first output is fine but the second one may be surprising if we are coming java c world.
Meanwhile the same operation in python 2 represents a classic division that rounds the result down.
From the ansi c draft 3 3 5.
The division and floor division operators yield the quotient of their arguments.
Floor division always rounds away from zero for negative numbers so 3 5 will round to 4 but towards zero for positive numbers so 3 5 will round to 3.
The numeric arguments are first converted to a common type.
Floor division the division of operands where the result is the quotient in which the digits after the decimal point are removed.
But if one of the operands is negative the result is floored i e rounded away from zero towards negative infinity.
Select a product to view available product data sheets pds safety data sheets sds and consumer product ingredient communication cpic information.
In python 2 7 the operator works as a floor division for integer arguments.
The integer division value is added with the checking value to get the ceiling value.
For python 2 x dividing two integers or longs uses integer division also known as floor division applying the floor function after division.
So for example 5 2 is 2.
Division of integers yields a float while floor division of integers results in an integer.
Floor division and modulo are linked by the following identity x x y y x y which is why modulo also yields unexpected results for negative numbers not just floor division.
When dividing an integer by another integer in python 3 the division operation x y represents a true division uses truediv method and produces a floating point result.
If either operand is negative whether the result of the operator is the largest integer less than the algebraic quotient or the smallest integer greater than the algebraic.
The standard division symbol operates differently in python 3 and python 2 when applied to integers.
Division and type conversion.
In python 2 is integer division assuming int inputs in both 2 and 3 is integer division to get float division in python 2 requires either of the operands be a float either as 20.
In python 3 is float division.
