Synopsis

Official Name: DivHLByA

Divides the value in HL by the value in A.

Inputs

• HL: integer
• A: integer

Comments

Simple enough to implement if speed is important. However, it may return invalid results if A is larger than 127 since the routine does not correctly handle overflows.

Example

ld hl,13
ld a,5
B_CALL DivHLByA  ;should return HL=2, A=3
