Description
Both value1 and value2 must be of type long. The values are popped from the operand stack. The long result is the value of the Java expression value1 / value2. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.
A long division rounds towards 0; that is, the quotient produced for long values in n / d is a long value q whose magnitude is as large as possible while satisfying 
. Moreover, q is positive when 
and n and d have the same sign, but q is negative when 
and n and d have opposite signs.
There is one special case that does not satisfy this rule: if the dividend is the negative integer of largest possible magnitude for the long type and the divisor is -1, then overflow occurs and the result is equal to the dividend; despite the overflow, no exception is thrown in this case.
Runtime Exception
If the value of the divisor in a long division is 0, ldiv throws an ArithmeticException.
