Editing division

== Quotient Division == The [[slash]] symbol can be used as the division [[operator]] to produce the result of a quotient division calculation of two [[operand]]s: answer = 18 / 3 # 6 == Division Combination Assignment Operator == The division [[combination assignment operator]] represented by a [[climbequal]]s digraph, can also be used to perform a quotient division calculation: value /= 3 # value = value / 3 == Integer Division == The [[awk]] programming language does not support the use of a [[backslash]] symbol as an integer division operator. However, the [[int]] function can be used to produce [[integer]] results from a mathematical quotient: BEGIN { print int(22 / 6) } == Division by zero == Traditional Unix behaviour is to abort awk with a fatal error, if a division by zero is encountered. === mawk === The mawk interpreter does not abort with a fatal error if a division by zero is encountered. Instead mawk returns an inf string without producing a warning or error: # This will cause a fatal error in traditional awk implementations BEGIN { print 3 / 0 # inf }

Summary:

This change is a minor edit.
