Andrew,
1. Generally, the Component Pascal MOD operator is the equivalent of the %
(modulus) operator in C. Note that MOD is defined in terms of DIV and CP DIV
always rounds toward negative infinity. Most C-language implementations
normally round towards zero.
2. What is the specific problem you have with the return statement?
Regards,
