7.4.29 Modulus Operator (%)

Used to divide two numbers and return only the remainder.
 

Syntax

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 (rounding floating-point numbers to integers) and returns only the remainder as result. For example, in the following expression, A (which is result) equals 5.
 

A = 19 % 6.7

For information on when a run-time error is generated by the % operator, see the Operator Behavior table.
