Div (Float function)

This intrinsic function returns the integer part of the result of dividing the method object by the method argument.

The numbers to be divided are first rounded to the nearest integer, including zero. Any remainder from the division is ignored.

The Modulus function returns the remainder of a division.

The Div function is available as of version 7.3 of the Sirius Mods.
