Description

Used to divide two numbers and return a floating-point result.

Syntax

result = number1/number2

The / operator syntax has these parts:

Remarks

The data type of result is usually a Double or a Double variant. The following are exceptions to this rule:

• When both expressions are Integer or Single expressions, result is a Single unless it overflows its legal range; in which case, an error occurs.
• When both expressions are Integer or Single variants, result is a Single variant unless it overflows its legal range; in which case, result is a Variant containing a Double.

If one or both expressions are Null expressions, result is a Null. Any expression that is Empty is treated as 0.
