Divide
Format: A / B
Arguments: [num] A, B Any real numbers,
complex numbers, vectors, or matrices to divide
Returns: [num] A divided by B
Description: Division is carried out using one of the
following methods as is appropriate for the input data:
If A is an array and B is a single number, every
element in A is divided by B:
If A is a single number and B is an array, A
is divided by every element in B:
If both A and B are lists with the same lengths,
the corresponding elements in A and B are divided:
If A and B are matrices and the number of
columns in A is equal to the number of rows in B
and B is square:
In all cases, elements are divided using complex division
where appropriate:
Examples: 6/2 = 3
(2+3*I)/I = 3-2i
[2,4,6,8]/2 = [1,2,3,4]
2/[1,2,3,4] = [2,1,0.667,0.5]
[1,2,3,4]/[1,2,3,4] = [1,1,1,1]
[[1,2],[3,4]]/[[1,2],[3,4]] =
[[1,0],[0,1]]
