modulo

Is there no modulo command? How am I supposed to find if something is odd or even?

Or did I miss it, somewhere?

There is no modulo command, unfortunately; you'll have to use another trick to find odd/even numbers.

Something like this (untested, off the cuff code) might work.

Code: Select all

[if(myVar/2 == floor(myVar/2)): "myVar is even"; "myVar is odd"]

...y-you mean there is no % operator in the math code? :O

Yeah, pretty silly.

The good news is that JavaScript is just around the corner and it has all that stuff.

That should work. Thanks for the idea! Clever, tricksy hobbitses.

No problem. I used something similar in my getAbilityMod() UDF for D&D 3.5.

My user defined function:

mod()

Code: Select all

<!--
[H: assert(argCount() == 2, "mod() requires two arguments (Variable, Divisor)", 0)]
[H: tVar = arg(0)]
[H: tDiv = arg(1)]

[H: output = tVar - floor( tVar / tDiv ) * tDiv]
-->[R: output]

You guys rock!

iMarkus, that works great. I've wanted a Modulus function for quite some time! Thanks!

There's a modulo function included in the Lib:Math token ( or try aliasMask's version for a different set of functions, including modulo. )
