rem

Remainder after division.

Syntax

• C = rem(A, B)

Input argument

• A - a variable: dividend

• B - a variable: divisor

Output argument

• C - result of rem(A, B)

Description

C = rem(A, B) computes the remainder of A and B, i.e : A - fix(A ./ B) .* B.

This function manages also negative values.

mod(A, 0) = A , whereas rem(A, 0) = NaN.

mod(A, B) has the sign of B, while rem(A, B) has the sign of A.

mod and rem are equals if A and B have the same sign.

Example

rem (-1, 3)
mod(-1, 3)
