better:                  5//2

The behaviour of 5/2 varies according to command line options and/or 
__future__ imports. e.g. If you start Python with the -Qwarn option 5/2 
will generate a warning; if you start Python with -Qnew (or use "from 
__future__ import division") then 5/2 will give you 2.5.

It is best, if you mean integer division, to always use the integer 
division operator.

Also note that those relationships only hold where both operands are 
positive. 

Python: -3//2 ---> -2
Pascal: -3 div 2 ---> either -1 or -2 is allowed by the standard.

Python: 3 % -2 ---> -1
Pascal: 3 mod -2 --> error
