The `//` operator performs floor division, rounding the result down to the nearest integer.
What is the value of `bool('')` in Python?
Answer: False
An empty string is falsy in Python, so `bool('')` evaluates to `False`.
Which of the following is a valid variable name in Python?
Answer: _total
Variable names can start with a letter or underscore, making `_total` valid; `2count` starts with a digit, `my-var` contains a hyphen, and `class` is a reserved keyword.
What is the result of `'5' + '3'` in Python?
