Examples mod(1,2) = 1 mod(2,9) = 2 mod(11,4) = 3 I haven't tested what mod(3.14,2) would yield but I assume it to be 1.14. Bye, Malte

The fraction part of a division can easily be computed by fpart(a/b) while mirroring the "normal" mod() behavior with a mod function as described in the manual is a tad more irky. Bye, Malte.
