I've also avoided using 2.x ** 2.x == 4.x in an example because readers might mistake `**` for exponentiation -- `2 ** 2 == 4` happens to be true in most languages, but for other reasons.

**for exponentiation.2 ** 2 == 4happens to be true in many programming languages, but for other reasons.And I think it is clearer now that ** and // truncate the operands, not the result. This is different from e.g. Pascal's
divoperator for integer division.
