Std.Decimal.divide

1 declaration

fn

divide: Decimal -> Decimal -> Int -> Std.Decimal.Rounding -> Option[Decimal]

This is a callable function.

What it does

Divide to a stated number of fractional digits, rounding as told.

This is the operation to reach for when left / right reports that the

exact quotient does not terminate. It answers None only for a divisor of

nought, because the caller has already said what to do about a quotient

that runs on.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
  • Option holds Some(value) or None when no value is available.
