BASIC
Multiplication
The
*
operator is the
symbol
for multiplication. Once again, the operation
is done
with the precision of
the more
precise
operand
(the less precise
operand is
converted).
Examples:
PRINT
33*11
Integer
multiplication
.
PRINT
33*11.1
Single-precision
multiplication.
PRINT 12.345678901234567*11
Double-precision multiplication.
Division
The
/
symbol is
used to indicate
ordinary division. Both operands are
converted to
single or double-precision
, depending on their
original precision:
•
If either operand
is double-precision , then
both are converted
to
double-precision
and eight-byte division is performed.
•
If neither operand is double-precision, then both are converted to
single-precision
and four-byte division is performed.
Examples:
PRINT 3/4
Single-precision
division.
PRINT
3.8/4
Single-Precision division.
PRINT 3/1.2345678901234567
Double-precision
division.
