Answer 5

It's false, because there is an exception when either of the operands were negative:
-20//6=-4

I don't want to explain why it's giving that result.

Answer 6

??? Where did you get the -20//6?

Answer 7

DeadEye UNT On this Q&A, it has been asked many times why negative floordivisions give weird results.

Answer 8

But that's because floor is a concept of converting a decimal number into an integer.

Let's pick a random decimal number: 8.4

If you want to convert it to an integer, you would have to choose between 8 and 9.

floor operator always chooses the smaller integer and that's where the floordivision gets its name.

-20/6 ~ -3.33
-3.33 is located between -4 and -3, thus floor division would choose -4.

Answer 9

I see i understand why it does that nnow

Answer 10

This is because it always chooses the next smaller number to the result, which, in this case, would be -4...
