Part Description

result Any variable.

number1 Any numeric expression.

number2 Any numeric expression.

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
