I guess most people do, but I don't care for it. If I have an integer, I need to use // to divide, or it gets converted to a float. If I have a Fraction, I need to use /, or it gets converted to an integer. You say, "but // always produces an integer, that's so much easier." But I don't see why there has to be a special operator devoted to integers.
>>> from fractions import Fraction
>>> x = Fraction(22,7)
>>> y = 3
>>> print(x,x/2,x//2)
22/7 11/7 1
>>> print(y,y/2,y//2)
3 1.5 1

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
