The [[\]] mathematical operator performs [[INTEGER]] division on a numerical value.
{{PageSyntax}}
:return_value = number [[\]] divisor
{{PageDescription}}
* Number value can be any literal or variable numerical type.
* '''Divisor (second value) must not be a value of 0 to .5'''. This will create a [[ERROR Codes|"Division by zero" error!]] due to [[CINT]] rounding.
* Return values will be [[INTEGER]] or [[LONG]] value types only.
* Rounding is done to the closest EVEN [[INTEGER|integer]] or [[LONG|long integer]] value.
* Use the [[/]] integer division operator for [[SINGLE]] or [[DOUBLE]] floating decimal point return values.
* Division and multiplication operations are performed before addition and subtraction in QBasic's order of operations.
{{PageExamples}}
Displays how floating decimal point values are rounded to the closest even [[INTEGER|integer]] value.
