Operator Mod (Modulus)

Finds the remainder from a division operation

Syntax

Declare Operator Mod ( ByRef lhs As Integer, ByRef rhs As Integer ) As Integer

Parameters

• lhs
• rhs

Description

Operator Mod (Modulus) divides two Integer expressions and returns the remainder. Float 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.

Return Value

Returns the remainder of a division operation.

Remarks

Usage

result = lhs Mod rhs

Dialect Differences

• In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.

Differences from QB

• None

Examples

Print 47 Mod 7

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
