I understand and agree with both comments.
I will confirm that a substantial number of people think -17 // 3 yields -5.0, so when I saw this I wondered if it reinforced that common misconception.
I was curious enough to not just confirm in the actual docs not only that -17 // 3 == -6.0 but learned why it does so.
I would be happy to see any of Terry's three suggestions added, with the first one adding the most bang for the buck (if someone is surprised to see -6.0 there, they can go look up why). |
