  • Article

 

Divides the value of one expression by the value of another, and returns the remainder.

result = number1 % number2

Arguments

  • result
    Any variable.

  • number1
    Any numeric expression.

  • number2
    Any numeric expression.

Remarks

The modulus, or remainder, operator divides number1 by number2 and returns only the remainder as result. The sign of result is the same as the sign of number1. The value of result is between 0 and the absolute value of number2.

A = 19 % 6.7
