Program Plan Intro
Integer division:
In Python, “//” operator performs the integer division.
- • This operator is used to divide one number by another number. The result of this integer division is given as a whole number.
- • If the result is a positive value, then the decimal part is truncated.
- • If the result is a negative value, then the decimal part is rounded away from “0” to the nearest integer value.
Example:
Consider the example of integer division as follows:
value = 7 // 2
Explanation:
Here, the value “7” is divided by “2” and the output “3” is stored into variable “value”.

A game program contains the following code to update three score variables, health, food, and knowledge. The maximum values for the three variables are 100, 80, and 25, respectively.
The game program’s author would like to write a procedure that could be used to update any variable in the game (myScore) that has a maximum value (myLimit) by a given amount (myAmount). A correct call of the procedure is shown below.
Which of the following is a correct implementation of updateScore ?
