is there a better way to divide ints and round down to an int than this
```floor(int1.toDouble() / int2).toInt()```


Why don't you simply do an integer division?
`int1 / int2`

```fun main() {
    val three: Int = 3
    val two: Int = 2
    println(three / two)
}```
results in printing `1`

Just to be clear, int division always rounds down: `9/5 == 1`

thanks, types required in floor probably confused me

and I wasn’t sure if there was something like / and // in python

You mean `-1` I guess <@UMXTNACBY> , but there indeed is a difference, the snippet of Bernhard gives `-2`

I’d left a space after the hyphen, but I’ve clarified it now

Well, for negative numbers it is indeed different.
Original snippet with `floor` always rounds towards negative infinity.
Pure integer division always rounds towards `0`

And also different from Python, there `/` as integer division rounds towards negative infinity if <https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/division-operator-in-python/> is correct and `//` does the same even for floating point numbers where `/` would do proper division.

So I guess you actually need to use `floor` to get the same result as with Python `/` if negative numbers are involved
and to get the same result as with Python `//`.
