MOD is defined as the difference between a number and the next lower number that is evenly divided by the second argument. If you consider the numbers in your example you have -13 which is not evenly divied by 4, the nest loser number that is evenly divided by 4 is -16 (not -12 whihc is higher than -13) and the difference is 3. This si the corre3ct MOD for -13 and 4, if VB gives 1 as an answer then it is wrong.


>The mod command gives stange results when done this way:
>Mod(-13,4). I would expect this to return either 1 or -1 but it returns 3.
>Visual Basic return -1 for this command but Ruby return the same thing as VFP. Can someone explain this to me.... Thanks.
