fdiv

(PHP 8)

fdiv Divides two numbers, according to IEEE 754

Description

fdiv ( float $num1 , float $num2 ): float

Returns the floating point result of dividing the num1 by the num2 . If the num2 is cero, then one of INF , - INF , or NAN will be returned.

Note that in comparisons, NAN will never be equal ( == ) or identical ( === ) to any value, including itself.

Parameters

num1

The dividend (numerator)

num2

The divisor

Return Values

The floating point result of num1 / num2

Examples

Example #1 Using fdiv()

<?php
var_dump
( fdiv ( 5.7 , 1.3 )); // float(4.384615384615385)
var_dump ( fdiv ( 4 , 2 )); // float(2)
var_dump ( fdiv ( 1.0 , 0.0 )); // float(INF)
var_dump ( fdiv (- 1.0 , 0.0 )); // float(-INF)
var_dump ( fdiv ( 0.0 , 0.0 )); // float(NAN)
?>
