fdiv

Divide two floats

Bytecode

Type Description
u1 fdiv opcode = 0x6E (110)

Stack ..., value1, value2 => ..., result

Description

Both value1 and value2 must be of type float. The values are popped from the operand stack. The float result is value1 / value2. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.

The result of an fdiv instruction is governed by the rules of IEEE arithmetic:

The Java Virtual Machine requires support of gradual underflow as defined by IEEE 754. Despite the fact that overflow, underflow, division by zero, or loss of precision may occur, execution of an fdiv instruction never throws a runtime exception.
