CDivideOperator

(C) / operator

The divide/division operator is used to divide two values.

double oneThird = 1.0 / 3.0; /* '.0' to specify these are doubles */
int notOneThird = 1   / 3  ; /* OOPS! This will be 0!  */

If these two values are of type int, the result will also be of type int. In the case above, 1/3 equals 0.33333 and this is converted to the integer 0. Beware of these implicit type conversions.

Its opposite operator is the multiply operator, *.

The five mathematical operators are:

• +, plus operator
• -, minus operator
• *, multiply operator
• /, divide operator
• %, modulus operator
