MSBuild

Performs the modulo operation on numbers.


Namespace: MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Math
Assembly: MSBuild.Community.Tasks (in MSBuild.Community.Tasks.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Class Modulo
    Inherits MathBase
C#
public class Modulo : MathBase
C++
ref class Modulo : MathBase
J#
public class Modulo extends MathBase
JScript
public class Modulo extends MathBase

Example

Numbers evenly divide:

 Copy Code 
<Math.Modulo Numbers="12;4">
    <Output TaskParameter="Result" PropertyName="Result" />
</Math.Modulo>
<Message Text="12 modulo 4 = $(Result)"/>
Above example will display:
 Copy Code 
12 modulo 4 = 0
Division on the numbers produces a remainder:
 Copy Code 
<Math.Modulo Numbers="14;4">
    <Output TaskParameter="Result" PropertyName="Result" />
</Math.Modulo>
<Message Text="14 modulo 4 = $(Result)"/>
Above example will display:
 Copy Code 
14 modulo 4 = 2
Modulus is a fractional value:
 Copy Code 
<Math.Modulo Numbers="12;3.5">
    <Output TaskParameter="Result" PropertyName="Result" />
</Math.Modulo>
<Message Text="12 modulo 3.5 = $(Result)"/>
Above example will display:
 Copy Code 
12 modulo 3.5 = 1.5

Remarks

The modulo operation finds the remainder of the division of one number by another.

When the second number (modulus) is a fractional value, the result can be a fractional value.

Equivalent to the % operator in C# or the Mod operator in Visual Basic.
