# Integer Division Operator //

Unlike the `/` operator, which returns a floating-point result (a decimal), the integer division operator `//` discards the decimal part and returns only the integer portion of the division.

<br />

For example, dividing 10 by 3 using the `/` operator yields a result of `3.3333333333333335`.

```python title="/ Operator Example"
result_float = 10 / 3

print(result_float)  # 3.3333333333333335
```

<br />

In contrast, using the `//` operator with 10 divided by 3 returns `3`, dropping everything after the decimal point

```python title="// Operator Example"
result_int = 10 // 3

print(result_int)  # 3
```

The integer division operator '//' drops the decimal part and returns the integer value of the division result.

### The integer division operator `//` rounds up the result of division to return an integer value.
