Used to divide two numbers and return a floating-point 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
The data type of result is usually a Double or a Double variant. The following are exceptions to this rule:
| If | Then result is |
|---|---|
| Both expressions are Byte, Integer, or Single expressions | A Single unless it overflows its legal range, in which case, an error occurs. |
| Both expressions are Byte, Integer, or Single variants | A Single variant unless it overflows its legal range, in which case, result is a Variant containing a Double. |
| Division involves a Decimal and any other data type | A Decimal data type. |
If one or both expressions are Null expressions, result is Null. Any expression that is Empty is treated as 0.
Example
This example uses the / operator to perform floating-point division.
Dim MyValue
MyValue = 10 / 4 ' Returns 2.5.
MyValue = 10 / 3 ' Returns 3.333333.
