\

The \ mathematical operator performs INTEGER division on a numerical value.

Syntax

return_value = number \ divisor

Number value can be any literal or variable numerical type.
Divisor (second value) must not be a value of -0.5 to .5. This will create a "Division by zero" error! due to CINT rounding.
Return values will be INTEGER or LONG value types only.
Rounding of the result is always done as with INT(x / y) and is always rounded down.
The numerator and denominator will be rounded via CINT, CLNG, or _ROUND to the corresponding integer value if they're floating point values and not native integers.
Use the / normal division operator for floating point return values.
Division and multiplication operations are performed before addition and subtraction in QBasic's order of operations.

Example: Displays how floating decimal point values are rounded to the closest even integer value.
