Modulo

Overview

Modulo takes two Numerical Type Inputs; a (the dividend) and b (the divisor) and returns the remainder of the division of a and b.

Unlike normal division, this kind of operation, actually considers how many times the divisor fits into the dividend in its entirity (the quotient), with the remainder being the amount that is left over.

Dividend (a)	Divisor (b)	Quotient	Remainder (c)
10	25	2	5
5.5	1.5	3	1
540	360	1	180
15	12	1	3

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
Data Type	Defined in the Data Type Attribute.	The Numerical Data Type of both the dividend and the divisor (a and b)

Inputs

Input	Type	Description
Pulse Input (►)	Pulse	A standard Input Pulse, to trigger the execution of the Node.
a	Defined in the Data Type Attribute.	The dividend (number to be divided).
b	Defined in the Data Type Attribute.	The divisor (amount the dividend should be divided by).

Outputs

Output	Type	Description
Pulse Output (►)	Pulse	A standard Output Pulse, to move onto the next Node along the Logic Branch, once this Node has finished its execution.
c	Defined in the Data Type Attribute.	The remainder of the division operation. (divisor - dividend * quotient).
