Python Confusion

I'm doing the Python course and am on Simple Operations. I might sound idiotic but I don't understand about the output of numbers, why is it that I saw sometimes the output would be without a decimal and another ending up as 9.0 Is this because of the division?

just a small tip use // instead of / to divide and only take integer print(7/2) 3.5 print(7//2) 3 print(4/2) 2.0 print(4//2) 2
