idivide

Integer division with controllable rounding.

Syntax

C = idivide(A, B)
C = idivide(A, B, mode)

Description

Returns the integer division of A by B elementwise. The optional mode controls how non-integer quotients are rounded:

• 'fix' (default) — truncate toward zero
• 'round' — round to nearest, ties to even
• 'floor' — round toward negative infinity
• 'ceil' — round toward positive infinity

A and B must be integer types (or convertible to one).

Examples

idivide(int32(7), int32(2))         % 3
idivide(int32(-7), int32(2))        % -3 (truncation)
idivide(int32(-7), int32(2), 'floor') % -4
