Florian> Or just stating what the programmer _really_ wants....
Most of the time, the choice of truncating vs non-truncating behavior
is made by the programmer writing the formula or algorithm involving
the division.
If this is true, then the current behavior where the type of division
is chosen by the input arguments forces each and every use of the
division operator to use the workaround (e.g. use to_f, to_i, or floor
as appropriate). This seems to be unnecessarily error prone.
Since the most of the uses of "/" require additional work to clarify
whether truncating or non-truncating division is required, the
suggestion is to have the "/" operator always do non-truncating
division and have a different operator (or method) always to
truncating division. Python chose "//" as the truncating operator.
There are a number of other options. IIRC, Pascal used "/" for the
non-truncating division operator and "DIV" as the truncating one.
The above analysis is flawed if there are a lot of algorithms that
require the behavior of "/" (truncating vs non-truncating) to depend
upon the type of input argument. Personally, I can't think of a
single example where that type of operand dependent behavior for "/"
is useful.
Changing the definition of "/" will be painful and will probably break
some code. Matz has already indicated that "/" may return rational in
the future, so that pain may be coming no matter what. Well, until
that time, I know I'm going to be careful using division in my
programs.
