Integer vs Floats
#1
Hi,

I am currently learning Python from an online course and today is my first day. I am a little confused on Integers when dividing instead of adding.

If I write


 print ((1 + 2) + 5) 
I get the answer 8 as an Integer but If I write
 print ((1 + 2) * 5 / 3) 
I get 5.0 instead of 5, why does the output give me an float instead of an Integer when I divide?

Thanks
