REMAINDER Function
The REMAINDER function divides the first number value you specify by the second number value you specify and returns the remainder.
If the divisor is zero, Author generates a divide by zero error (NaN = Not a Number).
This function is one of Author's Mathematical Functions and Operators, which are useful for performing various calculations.
| Function name | REMAINDER |
| Usage model | REMAINDER ( dividend:NUM, divisor:NUM ) |
| Parameter | This function requires you to replace two parameters: |
|
dividend: NUM |
The function divides this value by the value of divisor: NUM. |
|
divisor: NUM |
The function divides the value of dividend: NUM by this value. |

Example
In the following example, the Number variable nu2 is divided by 2 in order to find out whether it is even or odd:
IF ( REMAINDER(nu2, 2) = 0 )
SET EvenTF TO TRUE
ELSE
SET EvenTF TO FALSE
END IF
