The answer to your question depends on what programming language you use. In C, C++: 10/4 =2 or maybe 10/4.0 = 2.5 If the result is assigned to a variable of real type. as you can see, the compiler converts there result to a real type if at least one operand is declared of a real type. In Python 10/4= 2.5 10/5=2.0 10//4=2 10//5=2 There is no static typing in this language, and the type of result depends on the type of division operator used, i.e. / or //
