modulo(3I)

NAME
     MODULO - Modulo function

SYNOPSIS
     MODULO ([A=]a, [P=]p)

IMPLEMENTATION
     UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, IRIX systems

     CF90, MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90

STANDARDS
     Fortran

DESCRIPTION
     The MODULO function returns the remainder of a divided by p using
     modulo math.  The result always has the sign of the modulo base, p.

     This function accepts the following arguments:

     a         Must be of type integer or real

     p         Must be of the same type and kind type parameter as a

     MODULO is an elemental function.  The name of this intrinsic cannot be
     passed as an argument.

RETURN VALUES
     The result type and type parameter are the same as a.

     When a is of type integer, if p is not equal to zero, MODULO (a, p)
     has the value r such that a = q x p + r, where q is an integer.  The
     inequality 0 <= r < p holds if p > 0, and p < r <= 0 holds if p < 0.
     If p = 0, the result is 0.

     When a is of type real, if p is not equal to zero, the value of the
     result is a - FLOOR (a / p) * p.  The result can be a NaN when that
     value is available.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1.  MODULO(8,5) has the value 3.

     Example 2.  MODULO(-8,5) has the value 2.

     Example 3.  MODULO(8,-5) has the value -2.

     Example 4.  MODULO(-8,-5) has the value -3.
