NAME

MODULO(3) - [NUMERIC] Modulo function

SYNOPSIS

result = modulo(a, p)

         elemental TYPE(kind=KIND) function modulo(a,p)

          TYPE(kind=KIND),intent(in) :: a
          TYPE(kind=KIND),intent(in) :: p

CHARACTERISTICS

o	A may be any kind of real or integer.
o	P is the same type and kind as A
o	The result and arguments are all of the same type and kind.

DESCRIPTION

MODULO(3) computes the A modulo P.

OPTIONS

o	A : the value to take the MODULO of
o	P : The value to reduce A by till the remainder is <= P. It shall not be zero.

RESULT

The type and kind of the result are those of the arguments.

o	If A and P are of type integer: MODULO(A,P) has the value of A - FLOOR (REAL(A) / REAL(P)) * P.
o	If A and P are of type real: MODULO(A,P) has the value of A - FLOOR (A / P) * P.

The returned value has the same sign as P and a magnitude less than the magnitude of P.

EXAMPLES

Sample program:

    program demo_modulo
    implicit none
         print *, modulo(17,3)        ! yields 2
         print *, modulo(17.5,5.5)    ! yields 1.0

         print *, modulo(-17,3)       ! yields 1
         print *, modulo(-17.5,5.5)   ! yields 4.5

         print *, modulo(17,-3)       ! yields -1
         print *, modulo(17.5,-5.5)   ! yields -4.5
    end program demo_modulo

Results:

     >            2
     >    1.000000
     >            1
     >    4.500000
     >           -1
     >   -4.500000
