<pre>
Mod( <expression>, <expression2> )
</pre>

=== Description ===

Performs the modulus operation.

=== Parameters ===

==== expression ====

The dividend.

==== expression2 ====

The divisor.

=== Return Value ===

quotient = dividend / divisor.

=== Remarks ===

Some might wonder the point of such a function when clear % operators exist but why not!.

=== Example ===

<syntaxhighlight lang="sputnik">
$n = 18;
If ( Mod($n, 2) == 0 )
{
println("$n is an even number.");
}
Else
{
println("$n is an odd number.");
}

$x = Mod(4, 7);
println($x); // $x == 4 because the divisor > dividend

$y = Mod(1, 3.0/4.0); // We had to place .0 onto the end just so it forces it to be a double
println($y); // $y == 0.25 because the divisor is a float
</syntaxhighlight>

Of course we could just use the % modulus operator
<syntaxhighlight lang="sputnik">
$n = 18;
If ( $n % 2 == 0 )
{
println("$n is an even number.");
}
Else
{
println("$n is an odd number.");
}

$x = 4 % 7;
println($x); // $x == 4 because the divisor > dividend

$y = 1 % 3.0/4.0; // We had to place .0 onto the end just so it forces it to be a double
println($y); // $y == 0.25 because the divisor is a float
</syntaxhighlight>
