Operator / (Divide)
Divides two numeric expressions
Declare Operator / ( ByRef lhs As Single, ByRef rhs As Single ) As Single
Declare Operator / ( ByRef lhs As Double, ByRef rhs As Double ) As Double
result = lhs / rhs
lhs
Returns the quotient of a dividend and divisor.
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.
Output:
Syntax
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.
rhsThe right-hand side divisor expression.
Return Value
Returns the quotient of a dividend and divisor.
Description

Example
Dim n As Double
Print n / 5
n = 6 / 2.3
Print n
Sleep
Print n / 5
n = 6 / 2.3
Print n
Sleep
Output:
