Hi,

I am new to python and still going through a learning phase, can anyone explain what is the use of // operator in Python?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi, @Roshni,

It is a Floor Divisionoperator, which is used for dividing two operands with the result as quotient showing only digits before the decimal point. For instance:

10//5 = 2 

and 

10.0//5.0 = 2.0.

Hope this helps.
