int_part [terminology]

Terminology¶

Usage¶

• Use for the integer portion of a fraction or decimal representation.
• It is clearer than val when paired with a remainder or fractional part.
• Do not use num, because the variable represents only one part of the number.

a, b = numerator, denominator
# ...
int_part, rem = divmod(a, b)
