Old Notes (temporary):

(1) Remainder is calculated in real domain.
(2) % is identical to mod

You can use % to round a decimal number down to the nearest whole number.

For example:

If you wanted to use the command random to generate a whole number between 0 and 5, you could put this in a script:-

_rand = random 6

_num = _rand - (_rand % 1)
