In A // B, B != 0 Result is whole number only if both A and B are whole numbers. Result is decimal number if either A or B is whole number. Here is a log of all 4 cases: 8//4 = 2 8.0//4 = 2.0 8/4.0 = 2.0 8.0/4.0 = 2.0 5//2 = 2 5.0//2 = 2.0 5//2.0 = 2.0 5.0//2.0 = 2.0

The floor-division (double slash) operator will *always* give an integral number, never a floating-point (decimal) number That is it's function That is what ~ swim ~ was trying to say. It is easily found in the Python course, no need to downvote him
