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
