/ 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 variants, a Byte variant unless it overflows its legal range; in which case, result is a Variant containing a Integer.
Both expressions are Integer variants, a Integer variant unless it overflows its legal range; in which case, result is a Variant containing a Long.
Both expressions are Long, Single variants, a Long, Single variant unless it overflows its legal range; in which case, result is a Variant containing a Double.

If one expressions are Null or Empty expressions, result is 0.

Example

This example uses the / operator to perform floating-point division.
Dim MyValue
MyValue = 10 / 4 ' Returns 2.5.
trace MyValue
MyValue = 10 / 3 ' Returns 3.333333.
trace MyValue
