Description Divides a vector by a scalar or divides one vector by another.
Syntax 
vec.div(scalar)
vec.div(v)
PVector.div(v, scalar)
PVector.div(v1, v2)
Parameters
vec any variable of type PVector
scalar float: the number to divide with the vector
v PVector: the vector to divide by the scalar
v1 PVector: the x, y, and z components of a PVector object
v2 PVector: the x, y, and z components of a PVector object
Returns None or PVector
