Input () always return string. You can round the value if needed. But why you want to divide fruit and return is apple? I mean imagine you input 4 grapes and then expect 2 apples by dividing the grape?! This sounds like a great conceptual fruit salad

Please can you give an example.... If any float is given as input then you want to raise an error or something else?

Vishal Tiwari __floordiv__ (the magic method that works behind the operator // ) returns an integer. You can have a look at this one fruit = int(input()) apple=fruit//6 print(apple)

Vishal Tiwari sorry I was wrong. If either the dividend or the divisor is a float, then __floordiv__ will also return a float.

Because the challenge said that half of the input is apple and other half are grapes
