@jhominal Only if both arguments are int. If either is float, the result is float even if its value is by definition int-ish.

I still think this violates the Principle of Least Astonishment, that's why I just don't use it anymore. int(a/b) is not that much more typing.

@futurebird I used to call it integer division until I learned that at least in Python it doesn't actually return an int.
Now I just call it The Thing That Looks Like It Does What I Need But Better Stay Away From.
