Syntax
integerExpression1 mod integerExpression2
Description
Math operator; performs the arithmetic modulus operation on two integer expressions. In this
operation,
integerExpression1 is divided by integerExpression2.
The resulting value of the entire expression is the integer remainder of the division. It always has
the sign of
integerExpression1.
This is an arithmetic operator with a precedence level of 4.
Examples
This statement divides 7 by 4 and then displays the remainder in the Message window:
put 7 mod 4
The result is 3.
The following handler sets the ink effect of all odd-numbered sprites to
copy, which is the ink
effect specified by the number 0. First the handler checks whether the sprite in the variable
mySprite is an odd-numbered sprite by dividing the sprite number by 2 and then checking
whether the remainder is 1. If the remainder is 1, the result for an odd-numbered number, the
handler sets the ink effect to
copy.
on setInk
repeat with mySprite = 1 to the lastChannel
if (mySprite mod 2) = 1 then
sprite(mySprite).ink = 0
else
sprite(mySprite).ink = 8
end if
end repeat
end setInk
