Syntax
Assignment Variable = Variable / Variable
Overview
Divides variables and/or constants, returning an unsigned or signed 8, 16, 24, 32-bit or floating point result.
Operands
Variable can be a constant, variable or expression. Assignment Variable can be any valid variable type.
The Divide operator works exactly as you would expect with signed or unsigned integers from - 2147483648 to +2147483647 as well as floating point.
Example 1
Device = 18F26K40 ' Select the device to compile for
Declare Xtal = 16 ' Tell the compiler the device will be operating at 16MHz
Declare Hserial_Baud = 9600 ' Set the Baud rate for HRsoutLn
Dim wMyVar1 as Word
Dim wMyVar2 as Word
wMyVar1 = 1000
wMyVar2 = 5
wMyVar1 = wMyVar1 / wMyVar2 ' Divide the numbers.
HRsoutLn Dec wMyVar1 ' Display the result (200).Example 2
' 32-bit division
Device = 18F26K40 ' Select the device to compile for
Declare Xtal = 16 ' Tell the compiler the device will be operating at 16MHz
Declare Hserial_Baud = 9600 ' Set the Baud rate for HRsoutLn
Dim wMyVar1 as Word
Dim dMyVar2 as Dword
wMyVar1 = 100
dMyVar2 = 10000
dMyVar2 = dMyVar2 / wMyVar1 ' Divide the numbers.
HRsoutLn Dec dMyVar2 ' Display the result
