MIN Function The MIN function returns the value of whichever argument is the lesser of

the two.

MIN (

n-exp

)

(N)

MODULO Function The MODULO function returns a number that is the remainder of the

division, in integer arithmetic, of the first argument by the second, or

n-exp

modulo

i-exp

MODULO (

n-exp

i-exp

)

Computations done by MODULO make use of an implied function that

could be called INT (

), which returns the largest integer that is not greater

than

. Take, for example, the following MODULO equation:

MODULO(A,B) = A - (B * INT(A/B))

Using this equation, MODULO(10,3) evaluates as follows:

MODULO(10,3) = 10-(3*INT(10/3)) = 10-(3*3) = 10-9 =

The second argument must be an integer; since it is used as the divisor in a

division operation, it must not be zero. If

i-exp

is zero, TFORM issues an

error message and does not perform the MODULO function. (N)
