because "floor" division is "whole" (integer) division... so it return integer result... float division return 2.0 only if rest of whole division is 0 ^^

I think you're talking about this case. 12//6 = 2 12.0//6 = 2.0 Because if either member is float, the return value is also float. In the case you want integer result, you can retype it with (int) value. int(12.0)//6 = 2

4 // 2 => 2 4 / 2 => 2.0 5 // 2 => 2 5 / 2 => 2.5
