Operator MOD

[SMcNeill]

Tomorrow another function or operator will be called unusable, after it has been around for a long time...

I imagine it'll either be INT or \

After all, that backslash is supposed to represent INTEGER DIVISION, so why the heck isn't INT(x / y) the same as X \ Y ??   It's got to be BROKEN!!

The only possible solution is to add a new \\ command to show that we want true integer division and not some strange sort of bankers rounded division!  As it is, \ is completely unusable!  

Code: (Select All)

PRINT 1.5 \ 1

2...

2??

2!!??!!

How the heck can you get TWO when taking the INTEGER DIVISION of 1.5 and 1??

Completely unusable!   /FAINT!!

Someone get on it and fix it right now!!  It's wrong, and it's been wrong since the first BASIC had it producing such answers!  OMG!!   /FAINT AGAIN!!

If this keeps us, we're all going to have to go back to programming in COBOL!
