MOD(A, P)

Purpose

Remainder function.

Class

Elemental function

Argument Type and Attributes

A
must be of type integer or real.

P

must be of the same type and kind type parameter as A.

+-------------------------------IBM Extension--------------------------------+

The kind type parameters can be different if the compiler option -qport=mod is specified.

+----------------------------End of IBM Extension----------------------------+

Result Type and Attributes

Same as A.

Result Value

Examples

MOD (3.0, 2.0) has the value 1.0.
MOD (8, 5) has the value 3.
MOD (-8, 5) has the value -3.
MOD (8, -5) has the value 3.
MOD (-8, -5) has the value -3.


Specific Name Argument Type Result Type Pass As Arg?
