ee.Array.divide

  • Array.divide performs element-wise division between two arrays.

  • The method handles division by zero gracefully by returning 0 in such cases.

  • It returns a new array containing the results of the division.

 On an element-wise basis, divides the first value by the second, returning 0 for division by 0.

UsageReturns
Array.divide(right)Array
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: leftArrayThe left-hand value.
rightArrayThe right-hand value.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

print('2 / 0', ee.Array(2).divide(0));  // 0
print('2 / 1', ee.Array(2).divide(1));  // 2
print('2 / [1]', ee.Array(2).divide([1]));  // [2]
print('[3,4] / 2', ee.Array([3, 4]).divide(2));  // [1.5,2]
print('[3,4] / [2,4]', ee.Array([3, 4]).divide([2,4]));  // [1.5,1]
print('[3,4] / ee.Array([2,4])', ee.Array([3, 4]).divide(ee.Array([2,4])));  // [1.5,1]

Colab (Python)

print('2 / 0:', ee.Array(2).divide(0).getInfo())  # 0
print('2 / 1:', ee.Array(2).divide(1).getInfo())  # 2
print('2 / [1]:', ee.Array(2).divide([1]).getInfo())  # [2]
print('[3,4] / 2:', ee.Array([3, 4]).divide(2).getInfo())  # [1.5,2]
print('[3,4] / [2,4]:', ee.Array([3, 4]).divide([2,4]).getInfo())  # [1.5,1]
print('[3,4] / ee.Array([2,4]):', ee.Array([3, 4]).divide(ee.Array([2,4])).getInfo())  # [1.5,1]
