Finding a remainder

[Brian]

Hi,

If I have a number, say 100, and divide that by 16, the answer would be 6.25

How do I take that answer and determine that there is a whole number AND a remainder?

Many thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian,

The CB code below does what you are after, but I was not able to get the same code to work with IWB. The decimals only show "00".
Not yet been able to figure out why.

Egil

Code Select Expand

openconsole

def a:int
def b:float

a=100/16

b=(100/16)-a

print"int(100/16)=",a
print"Remainder: ", b

do:until inkey$<>""
closeconsole
end

Brian,

Modified the CB code above to read:

Code Select Expand

openconsole

def a:int
def b:float

a=100/16
b=100.00/16.00

print"100/16 = ",a
print"Remainder: ", b-a

do:until inkey$<>""
closeconsole
end

Now the code works both with CB and IWB.


Good luck,
Egil

Or was this what you had in mind..

Code Select Expand

openconsole

double a=100.0/16.0
double b=(a-int(a))*16.0

print "100/16=",int(a)
print "Remainder=:",int(b)

do:until inkey$<>""

closeconsole

Thanks, Chaps,

I'll have a look at all the answers later. Just at the wife's beck and call at the moment!

Way to much work, see:  % - Modulus-The remainder of an integer division.  Under Operators and Mathematical Expressions.  Does exactly what you are looking to do and is built into the language.

answer = 155 % 100.  returns 55.

Brian,
You probably want what both Clint and Bill are suggestion. I was thinking decimals only, not the remainder of an integer division.
But anyway, now you have suggestions for both ways.

Bill,

Looks like I had a senior moment and I'm not even a senior.  Your right, and I knew that.
