Description
The Divide$ function divides two strings representing floating point numbers.
Usage
As only integers are supported numbers in WinTask, calculation on floating point numbers is done using their string representation.
Syntax
res$=Divide$(a$,b$[,rc])
Parameters
a$, b$ are the strings representing the two floating numbers to be divided.
rc, optional numeric return code.
Values are:
- 0 if the division is successful
- 1 invalid operation because the parameters are incorrect (for instance, the string can’t be considered a number)
- 2 if operation causes an overflow
- 3 if division by zero is attempted
Return Value
res$, string representing a$/b$.
Examples
Divide$("13.56","145.789") 'gives "0.09"
Divide$("-45.678","34.8976") 'gives "-1.31"
#Precision=3
Divide$("567.34257","45.343") 'gives "12.512"
