9.191 MOD — Remainder function

Description:

MOD(A,P) computes the remainder of the division of A by P.

Standard:

Fortran 77 and later

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = MOD(A, P)

Arguments:

A	Shall be a scalar of type INTEGER or REAL.
P	Shall be a scalar of the same type and kind as A and not equal to zero.

Return value:

The return value is the result of A - (INT(A/P) * P). The type and kind of the return value is the same as that of the arguments. The returned value has the same sign as A and a magnitude less than the magnitude of P.

Example:

program test_mod
  print *, mod(17,3)
  print *, mod(17.5,5.5)
  print *, mod(17.5d0,5.5)
  print *, mod(17.5,5.5d0)

  print *, mod(-17,3)
  print *, mod(-17.5,5.5)
  print *, mod(-17.5d0,5.5)
  print *, mod(-17.5,5.5d0)

  print *, mod(17,-3)
  print *, mod(17.5,-5.5)
  print *, mod(17.5d0,-5.5)
  print *, mod(17.5,-5.5d0)
end program test_mod
