ee.Number.divide
Divides the first value by the second, returning 0 for division by 0.
| Usage | Returns |
|---|
Number.divide(right) | Number |
| Argument | Type | Details |
|---|
this: left | Number | The left-hand value. |
right | Number | The right-hand value. |
Examples
print('5 / 10', ee.Number(5).divide(ee.Number(10))); // 0.5
print('5 / 10.2', ee.Number(5).divide(ee.Number(10.2))); // 0.490196078
print('5 / -10.2', ee.Number(5).divide(ee.Number(-10.2))); // -0.490196078
print('-10.2 / 5', ee.Number(-10.2).divide(ee.Number(5))); // -2.04
print('-10.2 / -5', ee.Number(-10.2).divide(ee.Number(-5))); // 2.04
print('0 / 10', ee.Number(0).divide(ee.Number(10))); // 0
print('10 / 0', ee.Number(10).divide(ee.Number(0))); // 0
Python setup

Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
print('5 / 10:', ee.Number(5).divide(ee.Number(10)).getInfo()) # 0.5
print('5 / 10.2:',
ee.Number(5).divide(ee.Number(10.2)).getInfo()) # 0.490196078
print('5 / -10.2:',
ee.Number(5).divide(ee.Number(-10.2)).getInfo()) # -0.490196078
print('-10.2 / 5:', ee.Number(-10.2).divide(ee.Number(5)).getInfo()) # -2.04
print('-10.2 / -5:', ee.Number(-10.2).divide(ee.Number(-5)).getInfo()) # 2.04
print('0 / 10:', ee.Number(0).divide(ee.Number(10)).getInfo()) # 0
print('10 / 0:', ee.Number(10).divide(ee.Number(0)).getInfo()) # 0

It's called on a `Number` object (`left`) and takes another `Number` (`right`) as an argument. The result is also a `Number`. If the `right` value is zero, the function returns 0, otherwise returns the division result. Both positive and negative numbers are allowed as arguments, as showed in the examples.\n"]]
