Example:
set x to 266 div 11--- returns 24
Yup, expected result with integer division (div).
the true calculation should return 24.18181818 or a rest of 2
Sounds like what you're looking for is:
set x to 266/11 --floating point division; results in x = 24.18181818
Question: how do I get the rest of the calculation?
I may have missed the point, so just in case you wanted the remainder
and not the exact number try this:
set x to 266 mod 11 --modulus, or remainder from integer division;
results in x = 2
Thanks
Anytime (although I'm probably late to the party here, due to the fact
I'm on digest mode. If so I apologize)
