Integer Division
Is there an operator for integer division? (I know about IP(value), but was looking for something like '\').
Thanks, -Dale- |

In algebraic mode: iquo(122,3) returns 40. In RPN mode: 122 Enter, 3 Enter iquo(2) returns 40. Mark Hardman Ceci n'est pas une signature. |

RE: Integer Division
I was hoping to find a SINGLE character that would implement integer division. I was working with a compound expression requiring multiple integer divides, and that expression gets very l-o-o-o-n-g, with the varieties of ixxx(blah,blah) discovered so far.
Some languages use the backslash character, providing a very short solution to integer division. Example: 5\2=2, integer version. 5/2=2.5 exact version. (I did try to DEFINE the backslash character for this use, but \ is an invalid name input.) -Dale- |

I'm used to it from UBASIC, which also uses "@" for mod (integer remainder). There is no single-character integer division operator in PPL. iquo(a,b) is your shortest option, unless you make a user-defined function with an even shorter name. UDF's cannot be infix operators, however, so you're stuck with prefix notation. <0|ΙΈ|0> -Joe- |
