I'm not sure whether the intent of the book is to be Python3 compliant or not. However, I noticed in my IDE that
operator.div
was not available on Python 3.10.On further digging, I found that Python 3 removed
operator.div
in favour of two implementations:operator.floordiv
andoperator.truediv
.Given two integer values,
floordiv
returns an integer, whiletruediv
returns a float.My change replaces
div
withtruediv
, since that's what the output value3.0
is indicating.Reference: https://docs.python.org/3/library/operator.html#mapping-operators-to-functions
