idiv

Divides the receiver by another value and returns the integer quotient.

import { Arith } from "@teakit/arith";

const x = Arith.from("5");
const y = Arith.from("3");

x.idiv(y).toString(); // "1"
x.idiv("0.7").toString(); // "7"

// Use the (string, base) overload when the divisor is written in another base.
x.idiv("0.f", 16).toString(); // "5"

// The integer part is truncated toward zero.
Arith.from("-7").idiv("3").toString(); // "-2"

API Reference

Signature

idiv(n: ArithValue): ArithInstance;
idiv(n: string, base: number): ArithInstance;

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredNotes
nArithValueYesValue to convert to Arith before applying the operation.

Returns a new Arith instance. The receiver is not modified.

  • Throws if the input value is invalid while STRICT is true.

Agent Notes

  • Do not use JavaScript arithmetic operators on Arith values.
  • Import with import { Arith } from "@teakit/arith"; default imports are unsupported.
  • Use Arith.from(...) to create values. Do not generate new Arith(...) or Arith(...).
  • Use string inputs for exact decimal values, especially money-like values.
  • Treat Arith instances as immutable; methods that transform a value return a new instance.
  • Do not mutate internal fields such as c, e, s, or _isArith.
