Remember : // is the floor division operator. 40 // 2 = 20 41 // 2 = 20 So 'a' will contain two times '20'.

there are two numbers(40 and 41) which will give 20 as the quotient within the range you specified. So, 20 is returned 2 times in the list(a)

Théophile I know that floor division operator returns quotient but I couldn't understand why and how a contains two times '20' ?
