for / while else doesn't make sense

Python:

   >>> divmod(7, 3)
   (2, 1)

                                                               X
We never used '/' in school for anything. We used 'X : Y' or '---'.
                                                               Y

Anyway, every calculator in the world produces:

   1
   ÷
   2
   =

   ==> 0.5
