Answer

Floating-point division, /, returns the output in floating data type, meaning it gives the result in decimal places. So the answer to 5/2 would be 2.5.

Integer division, //, returns the output in an integer value. It ignores the decimal place value. So the answer to 5/2 would be given as 2.
