In python 2 7 the operator works as a floor division for integer arguments.
5 0 2.
The dividend and the divisor.
2 5 5 0 2.
Below are some example.
In python 2 the operator is not.
Quotient 7 3 this is the integer division operator print quotient remainder 7 3 print remainder.
It is written as in python 3.
So 1 3 0 2 3 0 and 3 3 1.
That is the values after the decimal point are discarded.
With floor division one number the dividend is divided by another number.
However the operator returns a float value if one of the arguments is a float this is similar to c.
The resultant value is a whole integer though the result s type is not necessarily int.
Carlsmith if you notice there are functional differences between our two answers which you can see if you try them both out.
In python the modulus operator is a percent sign.
Floor division in python figure 1.
Percentage 5 20 my version gives you 1 0 as 5 of 20 is 1 while percent 5 20 your version gives you 0 0 which is incorrect as you use floor division.
It s used to get the remainder of a division problem.

The resultant value is a whole integer though the result s type is not necessarily an integer.
Integer values are precisely stored so they are safe to use in comparisons.
The syntax is the same as for other operators.

But if one of the operands is negative the result is floored i e rounded away from zero towards negative infinity 9 2 4 and 9 0 2 0 4 0 11 3 4 11 0 3 4 0.
The floor division operator is an example of a binary operator as it takes two operands.
