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.
