When the / operator has two operands of integral type or real type it performs real division and the result is a value of real type. Any operands of integral type are converted into operands of real type before the division is performed.
Here are some examples using the / operator to perform division:
5 / 2 which results in the real value 2.5
5.0 / 2.0 which results in the real value 2.5
-5 / 2 which results in the real value -2.5
5.0 / -2.0 which results in the real value -2.5
-5.0 / -2.0 which results in the real value 2.5
