Magic method __floordiv__ is called when a "//" is used on any object.
Given example shows what I mean: print(some_object // other_object)
This may give error often, so that means given objects don't have __floordiv__ method

self represents the object that is first and other is object after

in both objects and I will try to use floor division on them. This SHOULD BE
used for objects of the same type.
