Returns the remainder (modulus) obtained by dividing one numeric expression into another.
nDividend % nDivisor |
Parameters
- nDividend
- Specifies the dividend (numeric expression being divided). The number of decimal places in nDividend determines the number of decimal places in the result.
- nDivisor
- Specifies the divisor (the numeric expression dividing the dividend nDividend). A positive number is returned if nDivisor is positive; a negative number if nDivisor is negative. nDivisor cannot be zero.
Remarks
The modulus operator (%) and MOD(В ) return identical results.
The modulus operator (%) is an arithmetic operator. Other arithmetic operators are: + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), and ^ (exponentiation). When these operators are combined in a numeric expression, % has the same precedence as * and /.
For a further discussion of operators and their order of precedence, see the Operators (Visual FoxPro) topic.
