Operator Mod (Modulus)
Finds the remainder from a division operation
result = lhs Mod rhs
lhs
Returns the remainder of a division operation.
Operator Mod (Modulus) divides two Integer expressions and returns the remainder. Numeric values are converted to Integer by rounding up or down.
Neither of the operands are modified in any way.
This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.
Output:
This is because:

Usage
result = lhs Mod rhs
Parameters
lhs
The left-hand side dividend expression.
rhsThe right-hand side divisor expression.
Return Value
Returns the remainder of a division operation.
Description
Operator Mod (Modulus) divides two Integer expressions and returns the remainder. Numeric values are converted to Integer by rounding up or down.
Neither of the operands are modified in any way.
This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.
Example
Print 47 Mod 7
Print 5.6 Mod 2.1
Print 5.1 Mod 2.8
Print 5.6 Mod 2.1
Print 5.1 Mod 2.8
Output:
5 0 2
This is because:
- 47 divided by 7 gives a remainder of 5
- 5.6 is rounded to 6 while 2.1 is rounded to 2. This makes the problem 6 MOD 2 which means 6 divided by 2 which gives a remainder of 0
- 5.1 is rounded to 5 while 2.8 is rounded to 3. This makes the problem 5 MOD 3 which means 5 divided by 3 which gives a remainder of 2
Dialect Differences
