[RESOLVED] backslash

[belvita]

a simple question...

[Highlight=VB]
y = Mid(Text1.Text, (Len(Text1.Text) \ 2), 3)
[/vbocode]

what does the \ 2 means?

thanks

[vbasicgirl]

It means divide by 2 but because it uses the backslash it means its using integer division so the return would have no decimal places

9 / 2 = 4.5
9 \ 2 = 4


casey.
