# MOD function

The MOD function returns the remainder (modulus) of argument 1 divided by argument 2. The result is negative only if argument 1 is negative.

## Syntax

    MOD ( integerExpression, integerExpression )

The result of the function is:

- SMALLINT if both arguments are SMALLINT.
- INTEGER if one argument is INTEGER and the other is INTEGER or SMALLINT.
- BIGINT if one integer is BIGINT and the other argument is BIGINT, INTEGER, or SMALLINT.

The result can be null; if any argument is null, the result is the null value.
