= x MOD y
The operator MOD
divides two numbers and returns only the remainder. The result
is the remainder after first expression is divided by the second expression. For
example, the expression 14 MOD 4
evaluates to 2
.
The result of a MOD
operation will not retain the sign of any, and so it may be
only positive. The result is always in the range [0, divisor)
, exclusive.
For example:
'8 Mod 3 = 2
'
'-8 Mod 3 = 2
'
'8 Mod -3 = 2
'
'-8 Mod -3 = 2
'
If divisor evaluates to zero, the behavior of the MOD
operator is to return the
dividend as result, without sign.
IF x MOD 2 THEN: PRINT "odd" : ELSE : PRINT "even": ENDIF
