# VecPointwiseDivide

Computes the component-wise division `w[i] = x[i] / y[i]`.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscvec.h"
    PetscErrorCode VecPointwiseDivide(Vec w, Vec x, Vec y)

Logically Collective

## Input Parameters

- x - the numerator vector

- y - the denominator vector

## Output Parameter

- w - the result

## Note

Any subset of the `x`, `y`, and `w` may be the same vector.
