Operator \ (Integer Divide)
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
Declare Operator \ ( ByRef lhs As LongInt, ByRef rhs As LongInt ) As LongInt
Declare Operator \ ( ByRef lhs As ULongInt, ByRef rhs As ULongInt ) As ULongInt
`
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 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.
Example
`
Dim n As Double
Print n \ 5
n = 7 \ 2.6 '' => 7 \ 3 => 2.33333 => 2
Print n
n = 7 \ 2.4 '' => 7 \ 2 => 3.5 => 3
Print n
Sleep
`
Output:

    0
    2
    3
