Operator \ (Integer Divide)operator

Divides two Integer expressions

Syntax

Declare Operator \ ( ByRef lhs As Integer, ByRef rhs As Integer ) As Integer

Declare Operator \ ( ByRef lhs As UInteger, ByRef rhs As UInteger ) As UInteger

Parameters

Return value

Returns the quotient of an Integer dividend and divisor.

Description

Operator \ (Integer division) divides two Integer expressions and returns the result. Float numeric values are converted to Integer by rounding up or down, and the fractional part of the resulting quotient is truncated.

If the divisor (rhs) is zero (0), a division by zero error (crash) will be raised.

Neither of the operands are modified in any way.

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.

Remarks

Usage


result = lhs \ rhs
