[Python-ideas] integer dividion in R

[spir ☣]

Hello,


The following point came up on the python-tutor mailing list:

spir at o:~$ python
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec  7 2009, 18:45:15) 
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 4//3
1
>>> -4//3
-2

The algorithm seems to use floor, not integral part. Is this correct, according to the (math) definition of integer division?
