Operator \= (Integer Divide And Assign)
Integer divides and assigns a value to a variable
Syntax
`
Declare Operator \= ( ByRef lhs As T1, ByRef rhs As T2 )
`
Usage
`
lhs \= rhs
`
Parameters
`lhs`
The variable to assign to.
`T1`
Any numeric type.
`rhs`
The value to divide `lhs` by.
`T2`
Any numeric type.
Description
This operator divides (integer division) and assigns a value to a variable. It is functionally equivalent to:
`lhs = lhs \ rhs`
This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types as a member `Operator` using the appropriate syntax.
Note: Similarly to the operator '=[>]' (assign), the alternative symbol '\=>' can be also used.
Example
`
Dim n As Double
n = 6
n \= 2.2
Print n
Sleep
`
Output:

    3

Dialect Differences
