Is it a bug, or there's some official document that says, that this was supposed to happen?? Because my C program worked very well.

In the Python line, you're using floor division, which rounds down. In C, division truncates the decimal values.

>>> -10/8   # standard division
-1.25
>>> -10//8  # floor division
-2

The / and // behave differently as you noticed.

With the floor division your result gets rounded to the next smallest number which is in negative numbers -2.
