Question

1. the two types of python division are known as integer division & float division. which operator corresponds to which type of division?

Explanation:

In Python, the // operator is used for integer division (also called floor division), which returns the quotient as an integer (truncated towards negative infinity). The / operator is used for float division, which returns a floating - point number (the actual quotient with decimal places if applicable). For example, 7 // 2 will give 3 (integer division), and 7 / 2 will give 3.5 (float division).

Answer:

• Integer division: The // operator. When using this operator, Python will perform division and return the quotient as an integer (it truncates the result towards negative infinity). For example, 9 // 4 = 2 (since 42 = 8 which is less than 9, and 43 = 12 which is greater than 9).
• Float division: The / operator. When using this operator, Python will perform division and return the result as a floating - point number. For example, 9 / 4 = 2.25.
