In Python, what is a good way to round towards zero in integer division?

Question

1/2

gives

0

as it should. However,

-1/2

gives

-1

Answer 1

Throwing my hat in with a few alternate ideas:

Multiple the sign of the number [abs(x)/x] by the abs(x)/2

(abs(x)/x)*(abs(x)/2)

Perform the addition, but if the number is less than zero add one to shift it closer to 0.

x/2 + int(x<0)
