The div.v command divides a variable by another variable, and stores the result in the first.

Syntax

div.v(var vA, var vB);
vA = vA / vB;
vA /= vB;

Remarks

The results of the division are rounded down (i.e. the result is truncated).

Note that this command uses the 'dot' notation (i.e. div.v vs. divv) unlike the original set of mathematical commands.

Possible Errors

AGI does not check for a divide by zero error. If an attempt is made to divide by zero, AGI will crash.

Example

Code:

<syntaxhighlight lang="agi"> v50 = 77; v51 = 7; div.v(v50, v51); [ v50 now equals 11 v50 = v50 / v51; [ v50 now equals 1 v50 /= v51; [ v50 now equals 0 </syntaxhighlight>

Technical Information
