Description

Returns IN1 divided by IN2. DIV(a, b) is the functional form of the / operator: a / b. Both forms are equivalent.

For integer types, division truncates toward zero. Division by zero causes a runtime fault.

Example

result := DIV(42, 6);   (* result = 7 *)
result := 42 / 6;       (* result = 7, operator form *)
result := 7 / 2;        (* result = 3, truncates toward zero *)
