Python: Remove division decimal

Question

I have made a program that divides numbers and then returns the number, But the thing is that when it returns the number it has a decimal like this:

2.0
         


        

Answer 1

When a number as a decimal it is usually a float in Python.

If you want to remove the decimal and keep it an integer (int). You can call the int() method on it like so...

>>> int(2.0)
2

However, int rounds down so...

>>> int(2.9)
2

If you want to round to the nearest integer you can use round:

>>> round(2.9)
3.0
>>> round(2.4)
2.0

And then call int() on that:

>>> int(round(2.9))
3
>>> int(round(2.4))
2
