Description
Math operator; performs an arithmetic division on two numerical expressions, dividing expression1

.
If both expressions are integers, the quotient is an integer. If either or both expressions are floating-point numbers, the quotient is a floating-point number.
This is an arithmetic operator with a precedence level of 4.
Example
This statement divides the integer 22 by 7 and then displays the result in the Message window:
put 22 / 7
The result is 3. Because both numbers in the division are integers, Lingo rounds the answer down to the nearest integer.
Example
This statement divides the floating-point number 22.0 by 7.0 and then displays the result in the Message window:
put 22.0 / 7.0
The result is 3.1429, which is a floating-point number.
