Operator % | Xbase++ | Alaska Software

Modulus operator (binary): determines the remainder of a division.

<nValue1> % <nValue2>

<nValue1> is a numeric expression, whose value is the numerator of the division.

<nValue2> is a numeric expression whose value is the denominator of the division. The value of <nValue2> may not be zero.

The result of the modulus operator is the remainder of the division of <nValue1> by <nValue2> (as a numeric value).

   ? -1 %  3                        // result: -1 
   ?  1 % -3                        // result:  1 

   ? -2 %  3                        // result: -2 
   ?  2 % -3                        // result:  2 

   ?  3 % -2                        // result:  1 
   ? -3 %  2                        // result: -1 

   ?  3 %  2                        // result:  1 
   ? -3 % -2                        // result: -1 

   ? 27 %  6                        // result:  3 
   ? 27 %  3                        // result:  0 
   ? 27 %  2                        // result:  1 
   ? 27 % 30                        // result: 27 

   ? 3.2 % 2.1                      // result:  1.10 

   ? 3 % 0                          // result: runtime error
