It does what Python 3 does: if two integers cannot divide cleanly, then a float division is done instead. This may not be what C, C++, C#, Java, or some other strictly-typed languages do, but it is what PHP does, and has done for a long time. It’s also what makes the most sense, IMO. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
