I'm one of those weirdos who loves programming, learned algebra through Q-BASIC way before it was offered in school and then did horribly when it was in fact offered in school, and generally isn't all that amazing at math. Nor operators.

What's the procedure for using modulus to, say, cut the GetSoundLen() of a sound into three integer thirds and kill the remainder?

value = GetSoundLen() / 3 - (GetSoundLen() % 3) / 3;

I think. The fraction leftover is the remainder over the divisor... Subtract this from the full decimal and you get a whole number.

Or...

value = GetSoundLen() % 3;

It's only if you want the remainder that you need to mess around with something like that

remainder = GetSoundLen() - ((GetSoundLen() % 3) * 3)

Thanks!
