It's a kind of division the returns only integers, the remainder is ignored. In Python: 12 / 5 = 2.4 (float division) 12 // 5 = 2 (floor division) 12 / -5 = -2.4 (negative float division) 12 // -5 = -3 (negative floor division)

The floor operation is not limited to python. Floor takes a floating point number and truncates the decimal part. So floor(3.14) returns 3. Also, floor(3.99999) returns 3.
