result = lhs \ rhs

lhs
rhs

Returns the quotient of an Integer dividend and divisor.

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.

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
