operator/() [16/20]

var stan::math::operator/ ( const var &  dividend, const var &  divisor  )

inline

Division operator for two variables (C++).

The partial derivatives for the variables are

$\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x/y) = 1/y$, and

$\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x/y) = -x / y^2$.

$$\mbox{operator/}(x, y) = \begin{cases} \frac{x}{y} & \mbox{if } -\infty\leq x, y \leq \infty \\[6pt] \textrm{NaN} & \mbox{if } x = \textrm{NaN or } y = \textrm{NaN} \end{cases}$$

$$\frac{\partial\, \mbox{operator/}(x, y)}{\partial x} = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{y} & \mbox{if } -\infty\leq x, y \leq \infty \\[6pt] \textrm{NaN} & \mbox{if } x = \textrm{NaN or } y = \textrm{NaN} \end{cases}$$

$$\frac{\partial\, \mbox{operator/}(x, y)}{\partial y} = \begin{cases} -\frac{x}{y^2} & \mbox{if } -\infty\leq x, y \leq \infty \\[6pt] \textrm{NaN} & \mbox{if } x = \textrm{NaN or } y = \textrm{NaN} \end{cases}$$

Parameters

dividend	First variable operand.
divisor	Second variable operand.

Returns

Variable result of dividing the first variable by the second.
