Integer division
Also called: int division
Course: AP® Computer Science A Shows up in: Unit 1: Using Objects and Methods
Dividing two int values: the result is only the integer part of the quotient, so 7 / 2 is 3.
Appears in the course and exam description (CED): 1.3.C.3
When both values are int, Java drops the decimal part and the result moves toward zero. If at least one value is a double, the result is the full quotient.
System.out.println(7 / 2);
System.out.println(-7 / 2);
System.out.println(7 / 2.0);Output:
3
-3
3.5
