rem (AutoLISP)

Divides the first number by the second, and returns the remainder

Supported Platforms: Windows and Mac OS

Signature

(rem [number number ...])

number

Type: Integer or Real

Any number.

Return Values

Type: Integer or Real

A number. If any number argument is a real, rem returns a real; otherwise, rem returns an integer. If no arguments are supplied, rem returns 0. If a single number argument is supplied, rem returns number.

Remarks

If you provide more than two numbers, numbers are evaluated from left to right. For example, if you supply three numbers, rem divides the first number by the second, then takes the result and divides it by the third number, returning the remainder of that operation.
