The Reciprocal/Divide Function ÷

Monadic Use On Floats And Integers

÷ is a monadic function that returns the reciprocal of the argument.

÷ 4 5 10

0.25 0.2 0.1

Dyadic Use On Floats And Integers

÷ is a dyadic function that works in two ways.

If the rho of both sides is the same it performs zip-wise division

If either side has a rho of [1] it divides the value by every value in the other.

Here are some of examples:

60 30 ÷ 12 5

5.0 6.0

and

10 20 30 40 ÷ 5

2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0

100 ÷ 10 20

10.0 5.0

Monadic Use On Complex Nos

For complex numbers the ÷ also calculates the complex reciprocal:

÷ 3J4

0.12J¯0.16

Dyadic Use On Complex Nos

This is simple complex division:

51j2 ÷ 2j4

5.5J¯10.0

Dyadic Mixed Use On Complex Nos And Plain Numbers

In mixed use the real numbers are cast to a complex number with an imaginary value of zero:

4 4J9 ÷ 2J4 2

0.4J¯0.8 2.0J4.5
