Mod

Evaluates to the remainder left over when one number is divided by another.Syntax:

<number> mod <divisor>

Examples:

23 mod 5 -- evaluates to 3 (23 div 5 is 4, with 3 left over)

12 mod 4 -- evaluates to zero

23 mod -5 -- evaluates to 3

Use the mod operator to perform modulus arithmetic.

If the number to be divided is an array, each of the array elements must be a number. If an array is divided by a number, each element(keyword) is divided by the number. If an array is divided by an array, both arrays must have the same number of elements and the same dimension, and each element(keyword) in one array is divided by the corresponding element(keyword) of the other array.

If an element of an array is empty, the mod operator treats its contents as zero.

If number can be divided evenly into divisor, the expression number mod divisor is zero.

Attempting to divide by zero causes an execution error.

Changes: The option to divide arrays was introduced in version 1.1. In previous versions, only single numbers could be used with the mod operator.

Parameters:

number: A number, or an expression that evaluates to a number, or an arraycontaining only numbers.
divisor: Any non-zero number. If the number is an array, the divisor is either anon-zero number or an array containing only non-zero numbers.
The result: ]]*Note:* Using non-integer number and divisor usually produces]] sensible results. However, mathematically, modulus is generally]] defined as a function over the integers, and the results using]] non-integers may not consistently be what you expect.
