float_divide

Divide an XFL by another XFL floating point number

Concepts

• Floating Point Numbers (XFL)

Behaviour

• Divide an XFL by another XFL
• Return a new XFL as an int64_t

Definition

C

int64_t float_divide (
    int64_t float1,
    int64_t float2
);

Example

C

int64_t still_one =
    float_divide(float_one(), float_one());

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
float1	int64_t	An XFL floating point enclosing number to act as numerator
float2	int64_t	An XFL floating point enclosing number to act as denominator

Return Code

Type	Description
int64_t	The XFL (xls17) enclosing number If negative, an error: INVALID_FLOAT - the supplied parameter was not a valid XFL enclosing number or the division resulted in an XFL that cannot be represented. DIVISION_BY_ZERO - the supplied parameter was zero.
