Operator / (Divide)

Divides two numeric expressions

Syntax:declare operator / ( byref lhs as byte, byref rhs as byte ) as byte declare operator / ( byref lhs as ubyte, byref rhs as ubyte ) as ubyte declare operator / ( byref lhs as short, byref rhs as short ) as short declare operator / ( byref lhs as ushort, byref rhs as ushort ) as ushort declare operator / ( byref lhs as integer, byref rhs as integer ) as integer declare operator / ( byref lhs as uinteger, byref rhs as uinteger ) as uinteger declare operator / ( byref lhs as longint, byref rhs as longint ) as longint declare operator / ( byref lhs as ulongint, byref rhs as ulongint ) as ulongint declare operator / ( byref lhs as single, byref rhs as single ) as single declare operator / ( byref lhs as double, byref rhs as double ) as double
Usage:

result = lhs / rhs

Parameters:

lhs

The left-hand side dividend expression.

rhs

The right-hand side divisor expression.

Return Value:

Returns the quotient of a dividend and divisor.

Description:

Operator / (Divide) returns the quotient of a dividend and divisor.

Neither operand is modified in any way. Unlike with integer division, float division by zero is safe to perform, the quotient will hold a special value representing infinity, converting it to a string returns something like "Inf" or "INF", exact text is platform specific.

This operator can be overloaded to accept user-defined types.

Examples:

Dim n As Double
Print n / 5
n = 6 / 2.3
Print n
Sleep

Output:

0
2.608695652173913

Dialect Differences:

In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.

Differences from QB:

None
