Can you complete this formula with data: -7 MOD 5 so that the result is displayed as a variable: PRINT A #

Chris
Code: (Select All)
A# = ModAll(-7, 5)
PRINT A#
FUNCTION ModAll&& (number as _INTEGER64, number2 AS LONG)
temp&& = number MOD number2
IF temp&& < 0 THEN temp&& = temp&& + number
ModAll = temp&&
END FUNCTIONRE: Operator MOD - SMcNeill - 11-27-2022
Remember, MOD takes the closest multiple of your number, and then gives the remainder.
So 13 MOD 5...
10 is the closest multiple of 5...
13 - 10 = 3
In the case of -7 MOD 5...
-5 is the closest multiple of 5...
-7 - -5 = -2
MOD is giving the proper results by this logic. You're just not used to thinking of it in such a manner.

My point is to supplement your code with numerical data. So where to enter -7 and 5. I want the result obtained in the variable A #.

There is only one correct result.

Trying to come up with something other than what's been posted...
Code: (Select All)
FOR i = 5 TO -7 STEP -1
PRINT i, modx(i, 5)
NEXT
FUNCTION modx (i, j)
IF SGN(i) < 0 THEN
IF ABS(i) <> ABS(j) THEN modx = (ABS(j) - ABS(i MOD j)) ELSE modx = 0
ELSE
modx = i MOD j
END IF
END FUNCTION
