Dividing two ints

Question

Dividing two ints

Accepted Answer

In Python 3, the / operator always returns a float, even when dividing two integers that divide evenly. 6 / 2 is 3.0, not 3, so the type is 'float'. This was a deliberate change from Python 2, where 6 / 2 returned 3. Use // if you need an integer result.
