Hello,

Can someone tell me what's wrong with the following statement?

{ i and j are integers}

j := (i mod 10);

Thanks!

In a meaningful context, of course. <g>

Maybe you could give a *little* more information
about your problem...

Nothing is wrong with the statement.  Remember that MOD stands for
modulus and is the remainder of the resulting division.  In other words,
the resulting remainder of i divided by 10 is assigned to j.

Example:
j := (5 mod 10);  // j = 5 since 10 doesn't evenly divided in 5
                  // so your remainder is 5
j := (20 mod 10); // j = 0 since 10 evenly divides into 20
j := (13 mod 10); // j = 3 since 10 goes into 13 once with a remainder
of 3

Later,
Dave

No, seriously, there is nothing wrong with that statement (by itself).
Please post a little more of the code surrounding that statement and
we should be able to find out what's ailing you.

Hi,

Looks like no one identified my previous post as a mistake, but
this is the place where Delphi flagged it as an error and would
not continue. I am posting more code surrounding that statement:

var
        i, j: integer;

begin
        {...}

        for i := 1 to 255 do (
                j := (i mod 10);
                if (k := 0) then ...

        {...}
end;

I have also tried to combine the above two statements into one:

        for ... do (
                if ((i mod 10) := 0) then ...

Now the if statement is marked as an error. Could it be that
the for loop is wrong? But it worked somewhere else.

Very frustrated!

In article <01bd34e8$f9012220$db4e37a6@g2k486>, song...@MCI2000.com says...

for i := 1 to 255 do begin
  j := (i mod 10);
  if (k = 0) then {...}
end;
