Floor Division and Modulo

The document discusses the floor division (//) and modulo (%) operators in Python. It explains that: 1) // performs floor division, which returns the integer part of the quotient of the numbers. % calculates the remainder of the division. 2) These operators can be used with both positive and negative integers and floats. The sign of the numbers determines whether the floor or modulo is calculated before or after division. 3) Examples are provided to illustrate the behavior of // and % in different cases like when the numbers have the same sign or opposite signs. Remainder is calculated as dividend - divisor * floor(quotient).
