+### What it does
+Checks for division of integers
+
+### Why is this bad?
+When outside of some very specific algorithms,
+integer division is very often a mistake because it discards the
+remainder.
+
+### Example
+```
+let x = 3 / 2;
+println!("{}", x);
+```
+
+Use instead:
+```
+let x = 3f32 / 2f32;
+println!("{}", x);
+``` \ No newline at end of file
