IEEERemainder Function

---

Class

System.Math

Syntax

     Dim result As Double = Math.IEEERemainder(x, y) 

x (required; Double)

A numerator in a division expression

y (required; Double)

A nonzero denominator in a division expression

Description

The IEEERemainder function returns the remainder after dividing x by y.

Usage at a Glance

• VB has a built-in Mod operator that also returns the remainder upon division.

• The IEEERemainder function complies with the remainder operation as defined in Section 5.1 of ANSI/IEEE Std 7541985; IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic; Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc; 1985.

• This is a shared member of the System.Math class, so it can be used without an instance.

Example

     MsgBox(Math.IEEEremainder(4, 3))      ' Displays 1
