presented with two integer arguments: it returns an integer result that's
truncated down when there would be a fractional part. For example, ``3/2`` is
1, not 1.5, and ``(-1)/2`` is -1, not -0.5. This means that the results of

+division can vary unexpectedly depending on the type of the two operands and
because Python is dynamically typed, it can be difficult to determine the
possible types of the operands.
