Remainder

Return the remainder resulting from the division of x by y using the IEEERemainder method. This remainder is equal to x - (y Q), where Q is the quotient of x / y rounded to the nearest integer (if x / y falls halfway between two integers, the even integer is returned). If x - (y Q) is zero, the value +0 is returned if x is positive, or -0 if x is negative. If y = 0, NaN (not a number) is returned.

Syntax

Remainder(x, y)

Arguments

• x

  Any numeric value

• y

  Any non-zero numeric value

Returns

Return the remainder resulting from the division of x by y using the IEEERemainder method

Note: This is not the same as the remainder returned using the Mod (modulus) operator

Exceptions

None

Notes

Unit of measure of x, if it exists, is carried over to the result

Example

• Remainder(11, 3)

  [Returns -1]

• Remainder(10, 3)

  [Returns 1]
