Operator \ (Integer Divide)
Divides two Integer expressions
result = lhs \ rhs
lhs
Operator \ (Integer division) divides two Integer expressions and returns the result. Float numeric values are converted to Integer by rounding up or down, and the fractional part of the resulting quotient is truncated.
If the divisor (rhs) is zero (0), a division by zero error (crash) will be raised.
Neither of the operands are modified in any way.
This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.
Output:

Usage

Example
Dim n As Double
Print n \ 5
n = 7 \ 2.6 '' => 7 \ 3 => 2.33333 => 2
Print n
n = 7 \ 2.4 '' => 7 \ 2 => 3.5 => 3
Print n
Sleep
Print n \ 5
n = 7 \ 2.6 '' => 7 \ 3 => 2.33333 => 2
Print n
n = 7 \ 2.4 '' => 7 \ 2 => 3.5 => 3
Print n
Sleep
Output:
0 2 3
