Question

What value will be assigned to result after the following statement executes? result \(=9 / / 2\)

Short answer

Answer: The value assigned to the variable "result" will be 4.

Step-by-step solution

Perform the division operation

Dividing 9 by 2: \( \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \)

Apply the floor function

The floor function will round down the result of dividing 9 by 2: \( \lfloor 4.5 \rfloor = 4 \)

Assign the result to the variable

Now, we assign the result of the floor division to the variable "result": result = 4
