MODULUS Assignment 1

[hankm3]

Hello,

I need to divide a number and get the remainder using the Modulus Assignment operator. % or %= but have not been able to get it to work. Anyone use this operator.

Thanks

Hank, I've had this work in the past the couple times I have used it. Can you post the code?

Got part of it to work:

integer A = 20
integer B = 101
integer Sum, Mod

Sum = B \ A
Sum equals 5

Mod = B % A
Mod equals 1

Never got the %= to work.

Thanks

The way %= works is that the remainder will be placed in the variable that held the value being divided. In other words, you can't use %= with a third variable. In your case above, you would use B %= A to replace the Mod = B % A line, but then you would use your original value in B.

Thanks Knob,

That was the Trick I needed for the %= Expression.
