How can I use integer division operator "/" in groovy?

Question

I was migrating a java project to groovy. Then I got an if condition is giving false in Groovy which was giving true in Java code.

Groovy Sample Code:

int status_num = 301
if (status_num / 100 == 3) {
    throw new GoogleServiceConditionException("Google Search System is under maintenance")
}

The if condition is giving false for groovy. For Java, it gives true.

How can I mitigate the issue?

Answer 1

I have searched over Groovy documentation. It say's like below:

For integer division like in Java, you should use the intdiv() method, as Groovy doesn’t provide a dedicated integer division operator symbol.

So, I have changed the code like below.

if (status_num.intdiv(100) == 3) {
    throw new GoogleServiceConditionException("Google Search System is under maintenance")
}

Now, it works fine.
