Syntax:: a mod b
Parameters:: a: Number
: b: Number
Return Value:: Number

Examples

Example 1:: _remaining = 5 mod 2; // returns 1, as 5 divided by 2 is 2 × 2 + 1

Remainder is calculated in real domain.
mod is identical to a % b

You can use mod 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 mod 1);

In A1, the new commands round, floor or ceil would be the easier way to round.
