Syntax
set theMod to 63 mod 20 -- returns 3
Return value
integer or real
Description
The mod operator divides its left operand by the
right operand and returns any remainder (otherwise zero), rather than
returning the division result. See the section on the
div operator, which does the opposite; it returns
the division result and throws out the remainder.
Examples
set theMod to 63 mod 20.0 -- result is an integer 3
set theMod to 63.0 mod 20 -- result is a real 3.0
set theMod to 63 mod 20.1 -- result is a real 2.7
set theMod to 63.0 mod 20.0 -- result is an real 3.0
