Used to divide two numbers and return an integer result.
Syntax
result = number1 \ number2
The \ operator syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| result | Required; any numeric variable. |
| number1 | Required; any numeric expression. |
| number2 | Required; any numeric expression. |
Remarks
Before division is performed, the numeric expressions are rounded to Byte, Integer, or Long expressions.
Usually, the data type of result is a Byte, Byte variant, Integer, Integer variant, Long, or Long variant, regardless of whether result is a whole number.
Any fractional portion is truncated. However, if any expression is Null, result is Null. Any expression that is Empty is treated as 0.
Example
This example uses the \ operator to perform integer division.
Dim MyValue
MyValue = 11 \ 4 ' Returns 2.
MyValue = 9 \ 3 ' Returns 3.
MyValue = 100 \ 3 ' Returns 33.
