rem() function

The rem() function returns the remainder portion of the result of dividing one number by another.

Syntax

rem(dividend, divisor)

Parameter(s)

dividend Number to be divided by the number specified in divisor.
divisor Number used to divide the number specified in dividend.

Description

There is no limitation on the numeric value of the dividend or divisor. The rem() and mod() functions are identical.

Note: The use of the rem() function within a FlashBASIC or BASIC program that is executed from a macro clears all active select-lists.

Example(s)

rem() is used to find the end of a page. Every 60 lines, a form feed (char(12)) is printed.

for i = 1 to lines
   print rec<i>
   if not(rem(i,60)) then print char(12):
next i
