This point is not easy to aproach. The fact is that it is necessary
that the beginner knows that there is a differerence between 3 / 2 and
3.0 / 2.

I don't want him to now about types, at least not at that stage. I used
the term "integer" for the lack of a better one and I didn't mention
"float". Any suggestions?
