Question

What is the output of the code print (9//2)

Answer 1

Answer:

The Answer to (9//2) is 4.

Explanation:

This answer seems a little strange. Well, this is actually because your head visualizes 9/2 to be 4.5. During the making of python two, it was decided that a coll feature should be added. This feature made it faster to throw away the floating-point. What is a floating-point? In easy words, a floating-point can be one of these: .5, .4, .3, .2, .1. You might be wondering, "Hey, I recognize these strange figures". Well, that's because you recognize them from numbers like 1.4 or 8.2. So, long story short, by using this '//' sign, you are basically asking python to divide 9 by 2 and telling it to throw away the floating-point which in this case is .5 (from 4.5). But, I am not entirely sure the only python has this syntax guiding this particular operation. If you want you can learn more about the syntax on your own.

Answer 2

The output of the code

print (9//2) in python language will be :

4

• In all the versions of python, the double backslash(//) operator stands for floor division operation.
• Clearly 9 divided by 2 gives 4.5
• But, in this case in floor division, the operation divides the number and rounds it off to the nearest integer lesser .
• Therefore 9//2 will give the value 4 instead of 4.5
