using mod with real values

[Prince]

unless this just isnt possible, im getting an error saying that assigned value is the wrong type

code:

function modX (x, y : real) : int     var imod : int     imod := x mod y % error given for y     result imod end modX

is there any way to complete this without changing the variable type?

you cant use real numbers in coordinates or sizes or anything like that, they have to be integers, because you cant use half of a pixel..

well mod just tells you if it devides compleatly into the number.

so

code:

function modReal(num1:real, num2:real):real if (num1/num2) = round(num1/num2) then result 0 else result (num1/num2) - floor(num1/num2) end if end modReal put modReal(10.2, 2.5)

the result should be 0.08... code is theoretical as I dont have compiler nearby at the moment... I need someone to confirm that this works

ah, sorry man, i misunderstood the question.. but yea, tony, i tested it and it works

[Prince]

thnx tony... it works btw but it still sends out decimal numbers (unless thats wat u wanted it to do) so im gonna try and fix that part

mod gives you a remainder of the division.

modReal acts in the same way as mod, but since both numbers can be real now, so is the remainder.
