In Python, we have floor division operator //. Is there any similar operator in C++?

Edit 1: In C++, Int Division is always floored but integer division rounds toward 0 instead of Flooring. So, to handle all data limitations what should be an ideal function in C++?

Integer division works like this by default in C++, so that would just be `/`. Are you asking for some other datatype than `int`? – scohe001 Jan 04 '21 at 15:39

@SampurnAnand integer division is always floored. – Aykhan Hagverdili Jan 04 '21 at 15:40
Note that C++ integer division rounds toward 0, rather than flooring. If you want floor behavior, you'll need manual handling for negative numbers. – user2357112 Jan 04 '21 at 16:35
@user2357112supportsMonica can you please explain a bit more? – Sampurn Anand Jan 05 '21 at 08:40
The result of `-1//2` is `-1` in Python, but `-1/2` is `0` in C++. – user2357112 Jan 05 '21 at 15:06

What is the C++ equivalent for "//" operator (floor division operator of Python) in C++?
