There are 3 distinct methods for Integer Divides in VBScript: x \ y, Int( x / y ) and CInt( x / y )
The best way to explain the differences between the 3 available Integer Divide methods may be by showing some examples.
The following table lists the outcomes of the 3 methods for a range of values:
| Demonstration of 3 integer divide methods | ||
|---|---|---|
| Abs(x\y) <= Abs(x/y) |
Int(x/y) <= x/y | CInt(x/y) = x/y rounded to nearest integer |
| -7\3=-2 | Int(-7/3)=-3 | CInt(-7/3)=-2 |
| -6\3=-2 | Int(-6/3)=-2 | CInt(-6/3)=-2 |
| -5\3=-1 | Int(-5/3)=-2 | CInt(-5/3)=-2 |
| -4\3=-1 | Int(-4/3)=-2 | CInt(-4/3)=-1 |
| -3\3=-1 | Int(-3/3)=-1 | CInt(-3/3)=-1 |
| -2\3= 0 | Int(-2/3)=-1 | CInt(-2/3)=-1 |
| -1\3= 0 | Int(-1/3)=-1 | CInt(-1/3)= 0 |
| 0\3= 0 | Int( 0/3)= 0 | CInt( 0/3)= 0 |
| 1\3= 0 | Int( 1/3)= 0 | CInt( 1/3)= 0 |
| 2\3= 0 | Int( 2/3)= 0 | CInt( 2/3)= 1 |
| 3\3= 1 | Int( 3/3)= 1 | CInt( 3/3)= 1 |
| 4\3= 1 | Int( 4/3)= 1 | CInt( 4/3)= 1 |
| 5\3= 1 | Int( 5/3)= 1 | CInt( 5/3)= 2 |
| 6\3= 2 | Int( 6/3)= 2 | CInt( 6/3)= 2 |
| 7\3= 2 | Int( 7/3)= 2 | CInt( 7/3)= 2 |
