Description

Division operator.

Returns

If there are more than two arguments, the result will be `/(`/(arg1 , arg2 ), @extras ).

If arg1 is an object that implements lfun::`/() , that function will be called with arg2 as the single argument.

If arg2 is an object that implements lfun::``/() , that function will be called with arg1 as the single argument.

Otherwise the result will be as follows:

arg1 can have any of the following types:
stringarg2 can have any of the following types:
int|float

The result will be and array of arg1 split in segments of length arg2 . If arg2 is negative the splitting will start from the end of arg1 .

string

The result will be an array of arg1 split at each occurrence of arg2 . Note that the segments that matched against arg2 will not be in the result.


arrayarg2 can have any of the following types:
int|float

The result will be and array of arg1 split in segments of length arg2 . If arg2 is negative the splitting will start from the end of arg1 .

array

The result will be an array of arg1 split at each occurrence of arg2 . Note that the elements that matched against arg2 will not be in the result.


float|int

The result will be arg1  / arg2 . If both arguments are int, the result will be truncated to an int. Otherwise the result will be a float.
