8.178 MODULO — Modulo function

Description:
MODULO(A,P) computes the A modulo P.
Standard:
Fortran 95 and later
Class:
Elemental function
Syntax:
RESULT = MODULO(A, P)
Arguments:

A Shall be a scalar of type INTEGER or REAL.
P Shall be a scalar of the same type and kind as A. It shall not be zero.

Return value:
The type and kind of the result are those of the arguments.
If A and P are of type INTEGER:
MODULO(A,P) has the value R such that A=Q*P+R, where Q is an integer and R is between 0 (inclusive) and P (exclusive).
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.
Example:
          program test_modulo
            print *, modulo(17,3)
            print *, modulo(17.5,5.5)
          
            print *, modulo(-17,3)
            print *, modulo(-17.5,5.5)
          
            print *, modulo(17,-3)
            print *, modulo(17.5,-5.5)
          end program
