Python Division Version
Python has two different division operators: / and //. The single forward slash / operator is known as float division, which returns a floating point value. The double forward slash // operator is known as integer division, which returns the quotient without the remainder.
For example:
# Float division
5 / 2 = 2.5
# Integer division
5 // 2 = 2
In Python 2.x, there is no difference for integers unless you perform a from __future__ import division, which causes Python 2.x to adopt the Python 3.x behavior
The divmod() function in Python takes two numbers and returns a tuple containing their quotient and remainder. For example, divmod(8, 3) returns (2, 2), which means 8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Here are some examples of using divmod() with different types of arguments:
# Integer arguments
print(divmod(9, 3)) # Output: (3, 0)
print(divmod(5, 5)) # Output: (1, 0)
print(divmod(3, 8)) # Output: (0, 3)
# Float arguments
print(divmod(8.0, 3)) # Output: (2.0, 2.0)
print(divmod(3.5, 1.5)) # Output: (2.0, 0.5)
print(divmod(7.5, -2.5)) # Output: (-4.0, -2.5)
# Mixed arguments
print(divmod(7.5, -2)) # Output: (-4.0, -1.0)
print(divmod(-7, -2.5)) # Output: (3.0 , -1.5)
