% CPSC-KEYWORD-DIV(7)

# NAME

cpsc-keyword-div - perform integer division

# SYNOPSIS

```text
left DIV right
```

# DESCRIPTION

Both operands must be INTEGER. Return the quotient truncated toward zero. A zero divisor throws an exception that TRY/CATCH can handle. DIV has the same precedence as multiplication. Use `/` for division returning REAL.

Two C integer operands are also accepted, using C++ integer promotions and signed/unsigned conversion rules. Mixing C and pseudocode operands requires an explicit cast. The / operator still returns REAL for C operands. See [cpsc-keyword-c_type(7)](cpsc-keyword-c_type.7.md).

# EXAMPLE

```text
OUTPUT 7 DIV 2
```
