Mod or Modulus function?

[ScottInTexas]

I cannot find a Modulus function in vbScript. Is there one? If not, is there a way to accomplish the same thing?

if a/b creates a float then all you need to find the modulo is the trailing float multiplied by b.

eg: a = 10 and b = 4; a/b = 2.5; a%b is the same as 0.5*b. If the float is a recurring number, just round the result to the nearest integer.

I don't know any VB though - I'd assume that there is such a function built in.

its not a function, but an operator:

i use it like this

if 5 Mod 2 = 0 then
etc

so if you only need the value, use
variable = a Mod b

Thanks RAF,

I have used it in other programming languages, just couldn't find the reference in VBScript.
