Instance Method

dividedReportingOverflow(by:)

Returns the quotient obtained by dividing this value by the given value, along with a Boolean value indicating whether overflow occurred in the operation.

Required.

Declaration

func dividedReportingOverflow(by rhs: Self) -> (partialValue: Self, overflow: Bool)

Parameters

rhs

The value to divide this value by.

Return Value

A tuple containing the result of the division along with a Boolean value indicating whether overflow occurred. If the overflow component is false, the partialValue component contains the entire quotient. If the overflow component is true, an overflow occurred and the partialValue component contains either the truncated quotient or, if the quotient is undefined, the dividend.

Discussion

Dividing by zero is not an error when using this method. For a value x, the result of x.dividedReportingOverflow(by: 0) is (x, true).
