-17/3 = -5.666666666666667 = -6.0 + .333333333333333. It is the latter fraction that gets discarded. However, this is a frequent source of confusion. How about adding >>> -17 // 3 -6 >>> -17 % 3 1 >>> -6 * 3 + 1 -17 to illustrate what we mean, without footnote or additional text. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43034> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
