Answer: E

Exp:

• “/” for Division
  • It produces always float value.
• “//” for division
  • If you want to get Integer value after division use this.
  • Results are always rounded.
  • If you divide an integer by an integer, you will always get integer value else float.
  • Always rounded to nearest integer.
