/ Operator
Used to divide two numbers and return a floating-point result.
Syntax
result = number1/number2
The / operator syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| result | Required; any numeric variable. |
| number1 | Required; any numeric expression. |
| number2 | Required; any numeric expression. |
Remarks
The data type of result is usually a Double or a Double variant. The following are exceptions to this rule:
| If | Then result is |
|---|---|
| Both expressions are Byte, Integer, or Single expressions, | a Single unless it overflows its legal range; in which case, an error occurs. |
| Both expressions are Byte, Integer, or Single variants, | a Single variant unless it overflows its legal range; in which case, result is a Variant containing a Double. |
| Division involves a Decimal and any other data type, | a Decimal data type. |
One or both expressions are Null expressions, result is Null. Any expression that is Empty is treated as 0.
