Hi

I can't get MOD to work on floating point values. Here is my test code:



I suppose this is a bug, but im not really sure.

I don't know whether this is a bug or not, but mod does appear to accept floats in other languages.

Yes, remainder of division or something like that.

Eg:
4 mod 3 = 1
11 mod 4 = 3

yes

[addition] From the help files

Quote: "The MOD specifies that the data on the left side of the MOD is to be divided by the data on the right side of the MOD, and the remainder of the division is the result:


11 MOD 2 equals 1
A MOD B equals the remainder of the division between A and B

Yes, mod is short for modulus. Sometimes represented by %.

This sig has been dullified!

From the Visual Basic help file

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

Usually, the data type of result is a Byte, Byte variant,Integer, Integer variant,Long, or Variant containing a Long, regardless of whether or not result is a whole number.

I see no reason why it can't work with real numbers. Windows Calculator can do that

Here is some random Google-ing from MSDN:

Quote: "Modulus Operator (%)
Divides the value of one expression by the value of another, and returns the remainder.

result = number1 % number2
Arguments
result
Any variable.
number1
Any numeric expression.
number2
Any numeric expression.
Remarks
The modulus, or remainder, operator divides number1 by number2 and returns only the remainder as result. The sign of result is the same as the sign of number1. The value of result is between 0 and the absolute value of number2.

For example, in the following expression, A (which is result) equals 5.6.

A = 19 % 6.7
"


Seems like there are quite different implementations of this

Gives the same result as windows calculator for all values and signs
