ddiv

ddiv

Forms
ddiv = 111 (0x6f)

Stack
..., value1.word1, value1.word2, value2.word1, value2.word2 ..., result.word1, result.word2

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

The result of a ddiv instruction is governed by the rules of IEEE arithmetic:

• If either value is NaN, the result is NaN.
• If neither value is NaN, the sign of the result is positive if both values have the same sign, negative if the values have different signs.
• Division of an infinity by an infinity results in NaN.
• Division of an infinity by a finite value results in a signed infinity, with the sign-producing rule just given.
