Arithmetics in IRD

[water235]

Just that I m curious, is there anyway I could perform a modulo operation in IRD,
like
1. get a count
2. if count >12, perform count%12, and set it to be the value of count, and perform further routing >

Thanks for any pointers/help

IRD "by default" uses language where there is no built in modulo operation.

Instead when working with integer types (variables of type INTEGER) it generates "integer ariphmetic" "machine instructions", so X mod Y is the same as X - (X/Y)*Y or something like count= count - (count/12)*12

Thanks, this is much easier.

I did it by another way -
i did a sequencial subtraction(dividend = divend - divisor) until divisor is less or lesser than equal to dividend, increasing the quotient count by 1!
in the end reminder = dividend, there by obtaining the quotient and reminder!
