Type:
_BY: real x real -> real
Call syntax:
_BY(x,
y)
x /
y
Description:
The binary infix operator "/" realises arithmetic
division on reals;
there is a corresponding
predefined function _BY, such that
a / b and
_BY(a,b) are equivalent expressions.
In expressions, "/" binds stronger than "+" and "-", but weeker than list element access (@) and the length operator (#).
Example:
> 12.5/0.5
Result= 25.0
> 3.6/2
Result= 1.8
> 15/3
Result= 5.0
