Hello there, nice question!
The double slash // is used in Python for integer division. Unlike the single slash /, which returns a decimal value, // divides the numbers and gives the result as a whole number. Since the formula for the sum of natural numbers always results in an integer, using // helps keep the output clean and avoids unnecessary decimal points.
Feel free to reach out if you have any more queries.
