I wanna simulate C style integer division in Python3.
There are two problems with this spec: it assumes that 'C style integer
division' is well defined and that we know the definition. Better:
"How do I write a function 'div' in Python 3 so that the following (with
values added after each '==') is True:
all((div(1,2) == , div(-1,-2) == , dif(-1,2) == , dif(1,-2) == ))"
For '//', the values would be 0, 0, -1, -1. If you want 0, 0, 0, 0
(truncation toward 0), then
def div(i, j):
return (i // j) + ((i < 0) ^ (j < 0))
print(all((div(1,2) == 0, div(-1,-2) == 0,
div(-1,2) == 0, div(1,-2) == 0)))
prints 'True'.
