Behavior of Division Operator in Python 2.7 and Python 3
In Python 2.7: By default, division operator will return integer output.
to get the result in double multiple 1.0 to "dividend or divisor"
100/35 => 2 #(Expected is 2.857142857142857)
(100*1.0)/35 => 2.857142857142857
100/(35*1.0) => 2.857142857142857
In Python 3
// => used for integer output
/ => used for double output
100/35 => 2.857142857142857
100//35 => 2
100.//35 => 2.0 # floating-point result if divsor or dividend real
