Math & Text divide

$divide[]

The $divide[] function performs a division: a / b. It is protected against division by zero: instead of generating an error, it simply returns 0.

Syntax

bdfd
$divide[a;b]

Syntax

$divide[a;b]

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
a number Yes The dividend (numerator).
b number Yes The divisor (denominator).

Behavior

  • Returns the quotient a / b.
  • The result can be a decimal number.
  • If b = 0, it returns 0 without generating an error. This is a built-in protection.

Examples

Division and Average Calculation

$title[Math: Division]
$description[Result of `10 / 2`: **$divide[10;2]**]
$addField[Decimal Result;$divide[10;3];yes]
$addField[Safe Division by Zero;$divide[42;0];yes]
$color[#5865F2]
$sendMessage[]

Notes

  • Protection against division by zero prevents accidental crashes, but note: 0 can be a legitimate result or an error indicator depending on the context.
  • For finer control, use $calculate[a / b] (which may behave differently).
