Why does Python give the wrong answer for square root What is integer division in Python 2

x = 16

sqrt = x**(.5)  #returns 4
sqrt = x**(1/2) #returns 1

I know I can import math and use sqrt, but I'm looking for an answer to the above. What is integer division in Python 2? This behavior is fixed in Python 3.
