The result of the following division: ``python 1 / 1 ``

Question

1 / 1

Options

• Acannot be evaluated
• Bis equal to 1.0
• Cis equal to 1
• Dcannot be predicted

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  83% (20)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

In Python 3, the / operator always performs true division, returning a float even when dividing two integers that divide evenly - so 1 / 1 yields 1.0, not 1. Option A is wrong because the expression is perfectly valid Python with no runtime error. Option C is wrong because 1 (an integer) would only result from floor division using the // operator (1 // 1 == 1). Option D is wrong because the result is entirely deterministic - Python's division semantics are well-defined.

Memory tip: Think of / as "always floats" - if you see a single slash, expect a decimal point in the result. Use // when you want a whole number.
