And here are the two differences I think your expression is hitting on:

    Expression: 750/300
    Python 2.7: 2
    Python 3.9: 2.5
    C: 2.000000
    SQLite: 2
    Node: 2.5
    Java: 2
    Go: 2

    Expression: -123%10
    Python 2.7: 7
    Python 3.9: 7
    C: -3.000000
    SQLite: -3
    Node: -3
    Java: -3
    Go: -3
There might be more. Though, there's a ton of needless obfuscation in your expression.


Certainly not floating point results in C for either of those.

All literals shown (750, 300, -123 and 10) are of type 'int', so the results would be, too.


Yep, I coerced the result to floating point in my harness.

I'm probably done, it's a mildly interesting side quest, but really, this is just reinforcing that different languages do things differently.
