why dividing integers result becomes float ?

[shakibamoshiri]

is this result valid, should not be integer ?

yq -n '.result=(200 / 10)'
result: !!float 20

I was expecting

yq -n '.result=(200 / 10)'
result: 20

version

yq --version 
yq (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/) version v4.34.1

Yeah I think you're right - the divide is a little naive and just assumes a float. Feel free to raise a bug.

As a workaround you can manually override the tag to be an int:

./yq -n '.result = (20 / 10) | .result tag= "!!int"'
result: 2
