In MATLAB, the mod function is used to compute the remainder of a division operation. It returns the remainder when the first argument is divided by the second.
Syntax:
result = mod(dividend, divisor)
Description:
dividend: The number you want to divide.divisor: The number by which you divide.result: The remainder after dividingdividendbydivisor.
Example:
% Example 1
result = mod(10, 3);
disp(result); % Output: 1
% Example 2
result = mod(15, 4);
disp(result); % Output: 3
% Example 3
result = mod(-7, 3);
disp(result); % Output: 2
Notes:
- The
modfunction returns the same sign as the divisor. - It works with both integers and floating-point numbers.
Related Functions:
rem: Returns the remainder with the same sign as the dividend.floor: Rounds down the result.ceil: Rounds up the result.
Example with floating-point numbers:
result = mod(2.5, 0.7);
disp(result); % Output: 0.3
