I would suggest integer 1. I’d expect (and I think most people new to PHP would expect) what 3/2 would be in normal maths, i.e. the fractional value 0.666…. Actually, this makes a good case for return type hinting, as you could ensure you’d get an integer result here. (But that is another matter.) -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
