For python

After division, if the result has any decimal number with the full number, I just want to get the full number and ignore the decimal number.

for example:

130/33 = 3.939393

here I just want to use the number "3" and ignore the ".939393"

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

    Do you want it rounded up, down, closest full number or literally take the integer number as it is before the decimal place? – Johnny John Boy Jul 21 '22 at 08:35

Use integer division:

print(130//33)
3

SEE ALSO:

Also referred to as integer division. The resultant value is a whole integer, though the result’s type is not necessarily int. The result is always rounded towards minus infinity: 1//2 is 0, (-1)//2 is -1, 1//(-2) is -1, and (-1)//(-2) is 0

    The problem with this solution is that `-130//33` will result in `-4` which is most likely undesired behavior. Converting to int with `int(-130/33)` removes the precision and results in `-3`. – ericksonb Jul 20 '22 at 15:36

You can cast to int without using any library

print(int(130/33))

    If it's any consolation, I think this is the right answer as the OP asked specifically for the number before the decimal place. int(str(number).split('.')[0]) would be the long way of doing what they, in my opinion, are asking. – Johnny John Boy Jul 21 '22 at 08:37

You can use floor method of math package.

import math   
  
# prints floor() method
print(math.floor(130/33))

Output:
