Mod= Operator
Divides the value of a variable by the value of an expression, then changes the variable to the remainder.
Note:
Mod= usually operates the same as Rem=.
See the section TBD to know why and how to change its operation.
Syntax
variable Mod= expression
Parts
variable- A numeric variable or property.
expression- A numeric expression.
Instructions
The two statements that follow operate the same.
variable Mod= expression
variable = variable Mod expression
The element on the left side of Mod= can be a scalar variable, a property, or an element of an array.
If it is a property, it cannot have the modifier @ReadOnly.
Mod= divides the variable or property on its left side by the value on its right side to get a quotient and a remainder.
Then it changes the variable or property on its left side to the remainder.
Mod does some of the same operations as Mod=.
Thus, the sign of the variable or property (positive or negative) does not change.
This is also where Mod= is different from Rem=.
Rem= takes its sign from the expression.
