Divide '/', '/='

Divide can be used in both variable and constant expressions. When used with variable expressions or integer constant expressions, it divides one value by another and returns the 32-bit integer result. When used with floating-point constant expressions, it divides one value by another and returns the 32-bit single-precision floating-point result. Example:

X := Y / 4

Divide has an assignment form, /=, that uses the variable to its left as both the first operand and the result destination. For example,

X /= 20'Short form of X := X / 20 

Here, the value of X is divided by 20 and the integer result is stored back in X. The assignment form of Divide may also be used within expressions for intermediate results; see Intermediate Assignments.
