Hello everyone, I have got a question about a simple calculation. If I would like to calculate 50/12 and return the result as 4 and the remainer 2. Is there a function of doing this? Many thanks.

?"%%" to see how to get the remainder. You might put the "result" and
remainder together in a function like this:
myfunc <- function(x,y){list(result = floor(x / y), remainder = x %% y)}
myfunc(x=50, y=12)
$result
[1] 4
$remainder
[1] 2

Hi Livia, There are several ways to do this. Try: a=50/12 floor(a) will give you the entire portion, and a-floor(a) will give you the remainder. Julian

This is OK if the ratio is positive, but for -50 divided by 12 the floor is -5 and the remainder is 10 (and not -4 and -2 as one may want). By the way, using %% and %/% leads to same result. Using trunc will remedy the situation, i.e.
x <- -50 y <- 12 a <- trunc(x/y) r <- x - a*y a
[1] -4
r
[1] -2
