title: Why does Python give the "wrong" answer for square root? What is integer division in Python 2?
body: <pre><code>x = 16
  
  sqrt = x**(.5)  #returns 4
  sqrt = x**(1/2) #returns 1
  </code></pre>
  <p>I know I can <code>import math</code> and use <code>sqrt</code>, but I'm looking for an answer to the above. What is integer division in Python 2? This behavior is fixed in Python 3.</p>
