use_ truncating_ division
Use truncating division.
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the result of dividing two
numbers is converted to an integer using toInt.
Dart has a built-in integer division operator that is both more efficient and more concise.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the result of dividing
x and y is converted to an integer using toInt:
int divide(int x, int y) => (x / y).toInt();
Common fixes
#Use the integer division operator (~/):
int divide(int x, int y) => x ~/ y;
