Description

The Divide function computes the quotient of two or more numbers. When all of the numbers are integers, the result is a long integer value. When any of the numbers is a floating-point number, the result is a double-precision, floating-point value.

Attempting to divide an empty list results in an "invalid argument" error.

Attempting to divide any value by zero results in a "invalid argument" error.

Parameters

Argument Type Definition and Requirements

value

Number

Two or more numbers to divide.

Returns

A number which is the result of dividing two or more numbers. When all of the parameters are integers, the result is a long (integer division). Otherwise, the result is a double (floating-point division).

Examples

  1. The following query executes two equivalent division operations. The first example provides the Divide function a list of numbers. The second equivalent operation first divides 10 by 5, the takes the result of that operation and divides it by 2:

    client.Query(
    Divide(10, 5, 2)
);
    LongV(1)
    result, err := client.Query(
	f.Divide(10, 5, 2))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
    1
    System.out.println(
    client.query(
        Divide(Value(10), Value(5), Value(2))
    ).get());
    1
    client.query(
  q.Divide(10, 5, 2)
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error('Error: %s', err))
    1
    result = client.query(
    q.divide(10, 5, 2)
)
print(result)
    1
    println(Await.result(
  client.query(
    Divide(10, 5, 2)
  ),
  5.seconds
))
    1

    is equivalent to:

    client.Query(
    Divide(Divide(10, 5), 2)
);
    LongV(1)
    result, err := client.Query(
	f.Divide(f.Divide(10, 5), 2))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
    1
    System.out.println(
    client.query(
        Divide(Divide(Value(10), Value(5)), Value(2))
    ).get());
    1
    client.query(
  q.Divide(q.Divide(10, 5), 2)
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error('Error: %s', err))
    1
    result = client.query(
    q.divide(q.divide(10, 5), 2)
)
print(result)
    1
    println(Await.result(
  client.query(
    Divide(Divide(10, 5), 2)
  ),
  5.seconds
))
    1

  2. The following query demonstrates that dividing with integers results in an integer result:

    client.Query(
    Divide(1, 2)
);
    LongV(0)
    result, err := client.Query(
	f.Divide(1, 2))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
    0
    System.out.println(
    client.query(
        Divide(Value(1), Value(2))
    ).get());
    0
    client.query(
  q.Divide(1, 2)
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error('Error: %s', err))
    0
    result = client.query(
    q.divide(1, 2)
)
print(result)
    0
    println(Await.result(
  client.query(
    Divide(1, 2)
  ),
  5.seconds
))
    0

  3. The following query demonstrates that dividing with a double value results in a floating-point result:

  q.Divide(1, q.ToDouble(2))
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error('Error: %s', err))
