Mod Operator

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.] 

Used to divide two numbers and return only the remainder.

Syntax

result = number1 Mod number2

The Mod operator syntax has these parts:

Part Description
result Required; any numeric variable.
number1 Required; any numeric expression.
number2 Required; any numeric expression.

Remarks

The modulus, or remainder, operator divides number1 by number2 (rounding floating-point numbers to integers) and returns only the remainder as result. For example, in the following expression, A (result) equals 5.

A = 19 Mod 6.7

Any fractional portion is truncated. However, if any expression is Null, result is Null. Any expression that is Empty is treated as 0.

Example

MyResult = 10 Mod 5   ' Returns 0.
MyResult = 10 Mod 3   ' Returns 1.
MyResult = 12 Mod 4.3   ' Returns 0.
MyResult = 12.6 Mod 5   ' Returns 3.
