Unsigned Arithmetic Operators
In Table 5-7 on page 5-9, the order of the operand types in each combination is
interchangeable except in the last case.
Topics:
•
Bitwise Logical Operators on page 5-10
•
Using Bitwise Logical Operators and INT(32) Operands on page 5-10
'/' Unsigned division INT(32) or UNSIGNED
(17-31) dividend and
STRING, INT, or
UNSIGNED(1-16) divisor
alpha '/' beta
'\' Unsigned remainder* INT(32) or UNSIGNED
(17-31) dividend and
STRING, INT, or
UNSIGNED(1-16) divisor
alpha '\' beta
* If the quotient exceeds 16 bits, an overflow condition occurs and the results will have unpredictable values. For
example, the operation 200000D '\' 2 causes an overflow because the quotient exceeds 16 bits.
