By putting "%" in gambas, you could do modulus using a single keystroke instead of three (five, counting the necessary spaces around...). You would also gain then "%=" operation (I wonder who in gambas misses things like this one). This could be a great deal, perhaps... but I don't think (just my opinion). I can not understand why people knowing C and C++ would like to turn gambas in a language where it is possible to write things like
while (c%=*++b->h!=!n^k); Is it so painful to write "a = c mod b" instead of "a = c % b"? There are not enough symbols on the keyboard to express all the possible operations... so let stay with the most useful ones (the four arithmetic operations). I think that the integer division "\" should disappear, in favor of DIV. Would you say, instead, that gambas needs also &, &&, |, ||, and so on? No? Why not? It's the same as "%"... Hope to not having hurted you: it's just my opinion which contrasts with you... :-) Regards, Doriano > Indeed i suggest it as a wish/new feature if you like. > > But all depends how Basic like style we want to keep. > > On Tue, 2010-11-09 at 08:25 +0100, Fabien Bodard wrote: > >> in another hand.... i don't understand the existance of the DIV >> operator :/ ... if DIV exist why not ADD/MINUS/MULT ? >> >> so ... i'm agree with user ... why not add the % synonymous ? >> >> this is not consistent >> >> >> 2010/11/9 user <demosthen...@gmail.com>: >> >>> This question was created to me when i saw the MOD function in >>> arithmetic operators without a an operator as the DIV has one. >>> >>> http://gambasdoc.org/help/cat/arithop >>> >>> On Mon, 2010-11-08 at 20:02 +0100, Benoît Minisini wrote: >>> >>>>> I know that there is MOD >>>>> >>>>> but i ask this question cause i compare the C++ operators with Gambas. >>>>> >>>>> As there is DIV and \ operator >>>>> i was questioned why MOD has not an operator as % for example in C++ >>>>> >>>>> >>>> Because Gambas is a Basic, and the Basic languages I know do not use "%" as >>>> operator. >>>> >>>> >>> >>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >>> The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper >>> David G.
