Operator / (Divide)

Divides two numeric expressions

Syntax
   Declare Operator / ( ByRef lhs As Single, ByRef rhs As Single ) As Single
   Declare Operator / ( ByRef lhs As Double, ByRef rhs As Double ) As Double

Usage
   result = lhs / rhs

Parameters
   lhs
      The left-hand side dividend expression.
   rhs
      The right-hand side divisor expression.

Return Value
   Returns the quotient of a dividend and divisor.

Description
   Operator / (Divide) returns the quotient of a dividend and divisor.

   Neither operand is modified in any way. Unlike with integer division, 
   float division by zero is safe to perform, the quotient will hold a 
   special value representing infinity, converting it to a string returns 
   something like "Inf" or "INF", exact text is platform specific. 

   This operator can be overloaded to accept user-defined types.

Example
   Dim n As Double
   Print n / 5
   n = 6 / 2.3
   Print n
   Sleep

Output:

   0
   2.608695652173913
