Consider the quotient -7/3. The floating-point result is –2.33. The result of integer division must be an integer, however, so this number must be rounded. Ruby rounds toward negative infinity and returns –3. C and related languages round toward zero instead and return –2. (This is just one way to characterize the results; no floating-point division is actually done, of course.) An important corollary of...
