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.
Examples
-
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 ))

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 ))
