Mod operator?
Locked

Sorry for this simple question, but I can't seem to find the mod operator. As in, "what's the remainder after doing division?" Thanks: John _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

Funny how asking a question can give you the answer...
I was looking for variations on mod, but after I wrote 'remainder'... well, you can guess the rest :-) Thanks anyway! -- John On Aug 11, 2007, at 11:05 AM, John Almberg wrote:

If you are interested by something closer to other languages for
processing negative numbers, (AMOD, fmod, etc...), you will have a look at #quo: and #rem: Nicolas John Almberg a écrit : > That works, too.

Hi Matthew,
I found the rem: method by finally thinking 'remainder' rather than 'mod'. I tried your approach, which sounded interesting, and it worked, but then I had to spend a few minutes thinking *Why* does it work? When it finally dawned on me, I tried a couple other mathematical examples. After yelling Wow! a couple of times, I tried it with 'hello . hel' and was really impressed. Thanks for the tip! -- John On Aug 11, 2007, at 2:30 PM, Matthew Fulmer wrote: > On Sat, Aug 11, 2007 at 11:05:54AM -0400, John Almberg wrote: >> Sorry for this simple question, but I can't seem to find the >> mod operator. >> As in, "what's the remainder after doing division?" >> Thanks: John > > For such questions, it is best to use the method finder: > - Open method finder (world menu -> open -> method finder) > - enter a mod expression ( such as 7 . 3 . 1 ) and hit enter > - method finder gives several answers.
