Chapter 16: Mathematics – More Fun With

Numbers.

In this chapter we will look at some additional mathematical operators and
functions that work with numbers. Topics will be broken down into four
sections: 1) new operators; 2) new integer functions, 3) new floating-point
functions, and 4) trigonometric functions.

New Operators:

In addition to the basic mathematical operations we have been using since
the first chapter, there are three more operators in BASIC-256. Operations
similar to these three operations exist in most computer languages. They are
the operations of modulo, integer division, and power.

Operation Operator Description

Modulo % Return the remainder of an integer division.

Integer Division \ Return the whole number of times one
integer can be divided into another.
Power ^ Raise a number to the power of another
number.

Modulo Operator:

The modulo operation returns the remainder part of integer division. When
you do long division with whole numbers, you get a remainder – that is the
same as the modulo.
